HAWK - hybrid question answering using linked data

The decentral architecture behind the Web has led to pieces of information being distributed across data sources with varying structure. Hence, answering complex questions often requires combining information from structured and unstructured data sources. We present HAWK, a novel entity search approach for Hybrid Question Answering based on combining Linked Data and textual data. The approach uses predicate argument representations of questions to derive equivalent combinations of SPARQL query fragments and text queries. These are executed so as to integrate the results of the text queries into SPARQL and thus generate a formal interpretation of the query. We present a thorough evaluation of the framework, including an analysis of the influence of entity annotation tools on the generation process of the hybrid queries and a study of the overall accuracy of the system. Our results show that HAWK achieves 0.68 respectively 0.61 F-measure within the training respectively test phases on the Question Answering over Linked Data (QALD-4) hybrid query benchmark.
