Abstract: In this paper we present a novel multiple-taxonomy question classification system, facing the challenge of assigning categories in multiple taxonomies to natural language questions. We applied our system to category search on faceted information. The system provides a natural language interface to faceted information, detecting the categories requested by the user and narrowing down the document search space to those documents pertaining to the facet values identified. The system was developed in the framework of language modeling, and the models to detect categories are inferred directly from the corpus of documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
