Hello everyone,
I and some other students from the ENS de Lyon have created a query answering tool [1] based on Wikidata. Its goal is to provide an improved version of Wiri [2] with advanced natural language processing techniques. Thanks to Lydia there is a now a blog post on wikimedia.de blog to introduce it: https://blog.wikimedia.de/2015/02/23/platypus-a-speaking-interface-for-wikid...
A side feature that may especially interest the Wikidata community is the power user's query syntax [3] that allows to do easily queries on Wikidata content. It is currently powered by WikidataQuery [4] but we should switch to our own query engine [5] in a few days.

Hey,
Very cool!
Had a quick look at the code, and am surprised by how clean it is. Cleaner than most MediaWiki / Wikibase code it seems. Well done.
Cheers

I've seen this idea around for a while, and this looks like the first determined implementation. Kudos! It should take over Wiri and ask-wikidata ASAP.

Needless to say, all of you and whoever you want to bring are all invited to the Wikimedia Hackathon in Lyon.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015
This is one of the main global Wikimedia tech events. Hacking and demoing new features for Platypus and other Wikidata friends would be a great hackathon plan.
