Score: 32/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 0, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4419, "days_push": 2934, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Java implementation of an open-domain question answering system inspired by IBM Watson, which analyzes questions and returns ranked candidate answers. It supports person, location, organization, number, and time question types, searching multiple data sources and scoring candidates via a web interface and REST API.

## Use cases
- build a question answering system in Java
- automatically answer questions from search results
- implement a Watson-like QA system
- classify question types like person, place, or time
- integrate a QA API into an application

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted Java QA system with Chinese language support
- you want a reference implementation of the Watson QA pipeline
- you need a REST API that returns ranked candidate answers

## When to avoid
- you need modern LLM-based question answering
- you require active maintenance or recent updates
- you need multilingual support beyond Chinese

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: nlp, search-engine, rag, chatbot
- domain: artificial-intelligence
- platform: jvm, self-hosted
- tags: question-answering, ibm-watson, chinese-nlp, deep-qa, natural-language-processing, search, web-server
