Machine Reading system "Abikwanne" (Acholi "I'm reading it")
# Abikwanne
A Machine Reading system combining deep NLP and Linked Data developed 2014-2016 at the Applied Computational Linguistics (ACoLi) Lab at the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt, Germany.
"Abikwanne" is an Acholi phrase for "I'm reading it".
As of 2022-03-12, the original Abikwanne repository has been archived. Use at your own risk. Please get in touch with Christian Chiarcos or Christian Fäth if you are interested in the original Abikwanne system or in contributing to the Abikwanne successor system.
We would like to thank previous Abikwanne contributors. Abikwanne has largely been a student project and it has been fun to develop. And beyond this, it has greatly contributed to the development of RDF-based NLP technologies, and its requirements have guided the development of CoNLL-RDF, resp., Fintan. However, the original code base won't be updated anymore and security issues will no longer be fixed. Since 2020, we have been developing a successor system based on Python and CoNLL-RDF/Fintan, stay tuned for future updates.
