This paper presents our bilingual question answering system MUSCLEF. We underline the difficulties encountered when shifting from a mono to a cross-lingual system, then we focus on the evaluation of three modules of MUSCLEF: question analysis, answer extraction and fusion. We finally present how we re-used different modules of MUSCLEF to participate in AVE (Answer Validation Exercise).
