Abstract: 
This paper describes a full data-driven system for question answering.
The system uses pattern matching and statistical techniques to identify the
relevant passages as well as the candidate answers for factoid and definition
questions. Since it does not consider any sophisticated linguistic analysis of
questions and answers, it can be applied to different languages without requiring
major adaptation changes. Experimental results on Spanish, Italian and
French demonstrate that the proposed approach can be a convenient strategy for
monolingual and multilingual question answering.
