Multiple Answer Extraction
for Question Answering with
Automated Theorem Proving Systems

Abstract

The Multiple ANSwer EXtraction system is a framework for interpreting a conjecture with outermost existentially quantified variables as a question, and extracting multiple answers to the question by repetitive calls to a base system that can report the bindings for the variables in one proof of the conjecture. This paper describes the framework and demonstrates its use on an illustrative example.
