Dear all,

We are very happy to announce QALD-4, the fourth in a series of evaluation
campaigns on multilingual question answering over linked data, this time
with a strong emphasis on interlinked data and hybrid question answering.

    Task 1: Multilingual question answering over DBpedia

    Task 3: Hybrid question answering

All relevant information about training and test phase as well as the lab
can be found on our website:

Submission deadline:  May 1, 2014
