    <Paragraph position="0"> Related work To our knowledge, our system is among the first to address the need for a different approach to non-factoid (complex/controversial)  answers. Although the three-tiered structure of our QA module reflects that of a typical web-based QA system, e.g. MULDER (Kwok et al., 2001), a significant aspect of novelty in our architecture is that the QA component is supported by the user model. Additionally, we drastically reduce the amount of linguistic processing applied duringquestionprocessingandanswergeneration, while giving more relief to the post-retrieval phase and to the role of the UM.</Paragraph>
