YodaQA Question Answering

April 27th, 2015 3 comments

I was working on Question Answering last year. Guess what, I’m still on it!

I threw away my first prototype BlanQA and started building a second system, YodaQA. It currently has reasonable performance of answering about a third of trivia questions properly and listing the correct answer in top five candidates for half of the questions – without doing any googling or binging.

A few weeks ago, I published the first paper on YodaQA. With a few fellow scientists, we also re-started the qa-oss Google Group on open source question answering systems.

Today, I finally made a proper homepage for YodaQA and launched a live demo of the system. It’s pretty primitive, but hopefully will serve as a proof of concept.
