I prototyped a simple natural language question answering demo in about 90 minutes. I accept a query like “where does Bill Gates work?”, find the likely URI for Bill Gates, collect some comment text for this DBPedia entity, and then pass the original query to the transformer model with the “context” being the comment text collected via a SPARQL query. I run this on Google Colab. Note that I saved my Jupyter Notebook as a python file that is in the listing below. Note the use of ! to run shell commands (e.g., !pip install transformers).
