QALD-Mini-Project

Instructions

Simple Usage example: Create an QuestionProcessor and call the processQuestion function with a string as argument. The function will then return an AnswerContainer with the answers to the question.

public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
      String question = "When was Albert Einstein Born?";
      QuestionProcessor processor = new QuestionProcessor();
      AnswerContainer result = processor.processQuestion(question);
}

In the QA class from the qa package there are also a few usage examples. See these variables at the top of the class.

   public enum DebugMode {
		 	DebugOffline,
			 DebugOnline,
			 LoadDataset
	 }
   
	 private static final DebugMode DEBUGMODE = DebugMode.LoadDataset;
	 
	 private static final Dataset DATASET = Dataset.QALD8_Test_Multilingual;
	
	 private static final String QUESTION = "When was Albert Einstein Born?";

1. Set DEBUGMODE to DebugMode.DebugOffline
   • Then the question specified in QUESTION will be answered.
2. Set DEBUGMODE to DebugMode.LoadDataset
   • Then all questions in the specified dataset DATASET will be answered and written to a JSON-file. Which then can be used to benchmark the system via gerbil.
3. Set DEBUGMODE to DebugMode.DebugOnline
   • Then the localhost can be requested via curl -d "query=When was Albert Einstein Born?&lang=en" -X POST http://localhost:8080/gerbil
