Abstract

In this demonstration, we present a multi-source hybrid Question Answering (QA) system. Our system consists of four sub-systems: (1) a knowledgebase based QA, (2) an information retrieval based QA, (3) a keyword QA and (4) an information-extraction to construct our own knowledgebase from web texts. With these sub-systems, we can query three types of information sources: curated knowledgebases, automatically constructed knowledgebases and wiki texts.
