Abstract:
The benefits of e-government and, more specifically, of delivering online public services are currently well understood by citizens and policy makers. Effective provision of government services implies that, besides being provided online, services become available through other channels, are organized according to citizen’s expectations, are accessible to everyone, anytime and anywhere, and include information from unstructured sources . It is also essential to provide tools that allow citizens to correctly identify the services they need.
Human language technologies can improve e-government service delivery by allowing to: deliver services in more inclusive manners; provide human centered and multilingual service and support; and include non-structured information scattered across different sources.
This research aims the development of Portuguese natural language questioning and answering methods for e-government, with information extraction from written documents. The work will focus on the Municipal service delivery, which is often the closest service point for citizens and enterprises.
