In this paper, we propose a Japanese question-answering (QA) system to answer contextual questions using a Japanese non-contextual QA system. The contextual questions usually contain reference expressions to refer to previous questions and their answers. We address the reference resolution in contextual questions by finding the interpretation of references so as to maximize the cohesion with knowledge, i.e., information source like document collections. We utilize the appropriateness of the answer candidate obtained from the non-contextual QA system as the degree of the cohesion. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to disambiguate the interpretation of contextual questions.
