QUAC currently answers only factoid questions, i.e. questions that expect a "who, what, where, when" type answer, because the only QA backend is Aranea. When accessing google, it is really quite slow so for this presentation I've just recorded the output of a query. Aranea uses its own interface to Google instead of the standard CPAN ones. I should adapt it but can't because I don't have an old google api license key. If anyone can present me with one that would be nice! ./quac --mods Aranea -s Glimpse -q "Who died?" andrewdo@al:/var/lib/myfrdcsa/codebases/internal/quac$ quac -q "Who was the King of Ireland?" -s Glimpse --mods Aranea Initializing sources...
