PORQUE

Alumni project (November 2020 - October 2023)

Polylingual Hybrid Question Answering

About the project

PORQUE will develop and evaluate an extensible platform for polylingual question answering by relying on knowledge graphs and text. We will combine neural machine translation with language-specific natural language processing techniques to make answering queries across languages efficient and accurate. We will deliver a prototype, which will be evaluated through commercial solutions in three domains (open data, publishing, energy).
