Templet: A Collaborative System for Knowledge Graph Qestion Answering over Wikidata

We present Templet: an online question answering (QA) system for Wikidata. Templet is based on the collaboratively-edited repository QAWiki, which collects questions in multiple natural languages along with their corresponding structured queries. Templet generates templates from question-query pairs on QAWiki by replacing key entities with identifiers. Using autocompletion, the user can type a question in natural language, select a template, and again using autocompletion, select the entities they wish to insert into the template's placeholders, generating a concrete question, query and results. The main objectives of Templet are: (i) to enable users to answer potentially complex questions over Wikidata using natural language templates and autocompletion; (ii) to encourage users to collaboratively create new templates via QAWiki, which in turn can benefit not only Templet, but other QA systems.
