A Semantic Based Accurate Answer Retrieval Technique for Plant Diseases

Abstract: This research paper presents an answer retrieval system for retrieving information about plant diseases and their control measures. The Question-Answering system proposed involves a semantic based technique using Ontology technology. The recommended method focuses on answering queries about different types of diseases that affect vegetables and their remedies. The outcome of this technique gives results with greater accuracy and which are more appropriate to context. This method is evaluated with a web forum that contains questions and answers about plant diseases. The evaluation results suggest that the proposed technique is more accurate and efficient.
