  The objective of the project is to design and run a system similar to Watson,
designed to answer Jeopardy questions. In the course of a semester, we
developed an open source question answering system using the Indri, Lucene,
Bing and Google search engines, Apache UIMA, Open- and CoreNLP, and Weka among
additional modules. By the end of the semester, we achieved 18% accuracy on
Jeopardy questions, and work has not stopped since then.
