Question Answering over Linked Data: Challenges, Approaches & Trends

Question Answering (QA) approaches over Linked Data provide principled and
multidisciplinary solutions to cope with the growing semantic heterogeneity
of databases, merging elements from natural language processing,
information retrieval and databases. The study of existing approaches for
QA over Linked Data can provide key insights on how future applications and
users will cope with increasing data variety. In this tutorial we will
provide a comprehensive introduction and description of the state-of-the
art for Question Answering (QA) approaches over Linked Data. The tutorial
will cover emerging challenges & trends in the database landscape (Big Data
& Linked Data), describing how QA principles and methods can be used to
address these challenges. The discussion will be grounded on existing
systems. The methodology and existing test collections for evaluating QA
systems over Linked Data will also be described.
