Dear all,

We are 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 2: Biomedical question answering over interlinked data
     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
