Qanus: An open-source question-answering platform http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/ junping/docs/qanus.pdf

In this paper, we motivate the need for a publicly available, generic software framework for question-answering (QA) systems. We present an open-source QA framework QANUS which researchers can leverage on to build new QA systems eas-ily and rapidly. The framework imple-ments much of the code that will other-wise have been repeated across different QA systems. To demonstrate the utility and practicality of the framework, we fur-ther present a fully functioning factoid QA system QA-SYS built on top of QANUS.
