QALD-6
6th Open Challenge on Question Answering over Linked Data
www.sc.cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de/qald
Challenge @ ESWC 2016
----------------------------------------------------------
The past years have seen a growing amount of research on question answering
over Semantic Web data, shaping an interaction paradigm that allows end users
to profit from the expressive power of Semantic Web standards while at the same
time hiding their complexity behind an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
We are happy to announce QALD-6, the sixth installment of the open challenge on
question answering over linked data, which provides an up-to-date benchmark for
assessing and comparing systems that mediate between a user, expressing his or
her information need in natural language and RDF data. QALD-6 offers three
tasks:
* Multilingual question answering over RDF data
* Hybrid question answering over RDF and free text data
* Statistical question answering over RDF data cubes
A full description of the challenge as well as the training data can be found
at the following location:

We cordially invite everyone working on question answering over linked data,
natural language processing for question answering, multilingual information
retrieval, or related topics to participate, and look forward to another
exciting challenge!
