This paper explores the use of pre-trained word embeddings to enhance answer selection methods in information retrieval. The research demonstrates that integrating these embeddings can capture semantic relationships between questions and answers, leading to significant improvements over traditional term frequency approaches. The study also shows that combining word embedding features with learning-to-rank techniques can achieve performance comparable to state-of-the-art neural networks for answer selection. AI
