2 Javelin Architecture
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The JAVELIN system is composed of four main modules: the Question Analyzer (QA), Retrieval Strategist (RS), Information eXtractor (IX) and Answer Generator (AG). Inputs to the system are processed by these modules in the order listed above. The QA module is responsible for parsing the input question, assigning the appropriate answer type to the question, and producing a set of keywords. The RS module is responsible for finding documents containing answers to the question, using keywords produced by the QA module. The IX module finds and extracts answers from the documents based on the answer type, and then produces a ranked list of answer candidates. The AG module normalizes and clusters the answer candidates to rerank and generate a final ranked list. The overall monolingual architecture is shown in Figure 1.</Paragraph>
