What Hacker News says
2 sourcesQuepy project uses python to do question answering (nl to mql) over freebase
Quepy 0.2 now is able to generate queries in MQL for the Freebase knowledge base!
Quepy is a python framework in which you can specify how to handle questions (in natural language) in order to generate a database query that answers them.
Freebase is a HUGE database that contains A LOT of enciclopedic information about everything.
