Dear participant of the TREC2016 LiveQA track,
You can download and freely use the open-source code, as provided by our team, for the skeleton server:
https://github.com/yuvalpinter/LiveQAServerDemo
In order to implement your API, to be called by the testing system in May 31 (see track CFP instruction)
Please overwrite the method:
protected AnswerAndResources getAnswerAndResources(String qid, String title, String body, String category)
of the class TrecLiveQaDemoServer.
This method gets as input the Yahoo ID of the question (qid), the title, body and category of the question, and returns an AnswerResources object that encapsulates your system answer as well as all used sources.
We hope you will find this code useful.
