RT Book, Section T1 Creating the DISEQuA corpus: a test set for multilingual question answering A1 Magnini, Bernardo A1 Romagnoli, Simone A1 Vallin, Alessandro A1 Herrera, Jesús A1 Peñas, Anselmo A1 Peinado, Víctor A1 Verdejo, Felisa A1 de Rijke, Maarten A2 Peters, Carol A2 Gonzalo, Julio A2 Braschler, Martin A2 Kluck, Michael AB This paper describes the procedure adopted by the three coordinators of the CLEF 2003 question answering track (ITC-irst, UNED and ILLC) to create the question set for the monolingual tasks. Despite the few resources available, the three groups managed to formulate and verify a large pool of original questions in three different languages: Dutch, Italian and Spanish. Part of these queries was translated into English and shared between the three coordinating groups. A second cross-verification was then conducted in order to identify the queries that had an answer in all three monolingual document collections. The result of the joint efforts was the creation of the DISEQuA (Dutch Italian Spanish English Questions and Answers) corpus, a useful and reusable resource that is freely available for the research community. We report on the different stages of the corpus creation, from the monolingual kernels to the multilingual extension.
