5 years ago We could build an end-to-end QA system that would work for any custom dataset (not just the bank), and therefore I think it would make sense to name such that it reflects this idea. It would also have more impact.
A quick research shows that what we are doing could actually be called "closed-domain question answering":
Closed-domain question answering deals with questions under a specific domain (for example, medicine or automotive maintenance), and can exploit domain-specific knowledge frequently formalized in ontologies. Alternatively, closed-domain might refer to a situation where only a limited type of questions are accepted, such as questions asking for descriptive rather than procedural information. QA systems in the context of machine reading applications have also been constructed in the medical domain, for instance related to Alzheimers disease.
On the opposite:
Open-domain question answering deals with questions about nearly anything, and can only rely on general ontologies and world knowledge. On the other hand, these systems usually have much more data available from which to extract the answer.
So my current thought is to call it with a very simple "cdQA" for "closed-domain question answering" framework.
Usually QA software have the word QA, eg.
DrQA.Do you have any idea to name our software? I was thinking about words linked to the ability to answer everything, a bit mystic.
Let's brainstorm!
