ab: Summary: 2009 marked UAIC’s fourth consecutive participation at the
    QA\@CLEF competition, with continually improving results. This paper
    describes UAIC’s QA systems participating in the Ro-Ro and En-En
    tasks. Both systems adhered to the classical QA architecture, with an
    emphasis on simplicity and real time answers: only shallow parsing was
    used for question processing, the indexes used by the retrieval module
    were at coarse-grained paragraph and document levels, and the answer
    extraction component used simple pattern-based rules and lexical
    similarity metrics for candidate answer ranking. The results obtained
    for this year’s participation were greatly improved from those of our
    team’s previous participations, with an accuracy of 54\% on the EN-EN
    task and 47\% on the RO-RO task.
