Abstract:
The field of NLP has recently been focused on Question Answering (QA) systems. Despite this, the Arabic (QA) systems are still underdeveloped. Arabic QA systems are difficult to provide with high accuracy due to the complexities of the Arabic language and the insufficient number of resources, especially for Arabic QA systems for the Holy Quran. Although the currently reached accuracies in QA systems are acceptable in general-purpose systems, they are, usually, not acceptable in religious affairs, as any wrong-generated answer will make the whole system strictly rejected. In this research, we proposed a prototype QA system for the Quran with the aim of increasing the accuracy of generating correct answers. The system is composed of two subsystems. Each subsystem utilized a different approach and different resources to generate the answers.
