Dear all,


the Smart Data Analytics group [1] is happy to announce AskNow 0.1 – the 
initial release of Question Answering Components and Tools over RDF 
Knowledge Graphs.

The following components with corresponding features are currently 
supported by AskNow:


* EARL 0.1 EARL performs entity linking and relation linking as a joint 
task. It uses machine learning in order to exploit the Connection 
Density between nodes in the knowledge graph. It relies on three base 
features and re-ranking steps in order to predict entities and relations.

* SQG 0.1: This is a SPARQL Query Generator with modular architecture. 
SQG enables easy integration with other components for the construction 
of a fully functional QA pipeline. Currently entity relation, compound, 
count, and boolean questions are supported.

* AskNow UI 0.1: The UI interface works as a platform for users to pose 
their questions to the AskNow QA system. The UI displays the answers 
based on whether the answer is an entity or a list of entities, boolean 
or literal. For entities it shows the abstracts from DBpedia.

* SemanticParsingQA 0.1: The Semantic Parsing-based Question Answering 
system is built on the integration of EARL, SQG and AskNowUI.
