It begins with an explanation of an increasing demand for such systems, along with inevitable difficulties and usage examples. Then, a question answering task is defined as a point of reference and for future evaluation. Existing solutions of similar tasks for English, evaluated during text processing conferences, are presented along with their common architectural scheme. To assess the applicability of those solutions to Polish, their language dependence is discussed, preceded by an outline of distinctive features of Slavonic languages, especially Polish, and their impact on text processing. Some already existing QA solutions for Polish are also enumerated." }
