Abstract

The necessary of buiding the searching system being able to support users expressing their searching by natural language queries is very important and opens the researching direction with many potential. It combines the traditional methods of information retrieval and the researching of Question Answering (QA). In this paper, we introduce a searching system built by us for searching courses on the Vietnam OpenCourseWare Program (VOCW).
