A Domain-Specific Question Answering (QA) Algorithm is an question answering algorithm that is a domain-specific algorithm.
- Context:
- It can (typically) be implemented by a Domain-Specific QA System (to solve a domain-specific QA task for domain-specific questions).
- It can (typically) involve understanding Domain-Specific Language.
- It can (typically) utilize Domain Knowledge (such as domain knowledge graphs). and Domain-Specific Data Sources.
- It can (often) be challenged by the need for high accuracy and reliability in the domain.

- Example(s):
- A Legal Domain-Specific QA Algorithm that answers questions on Contract Law or Legal Precedent.
- A Medical Domain-Specific QA Algorithm that provides answers to questions about Disease Diagnosis or Medical Treatment options.
- A Financial Domain-Specific QA Algorithm for answering queries related to Stock Market trends or Financial Regulations.
- A Knowledge Graph-based Domain-Specific QA Algorithm.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- A General-Purpose QA Algorithm that is not tailored for any specific domain.
- An Information Retrieval System that merely finds documents without answering specific questions.
