Behaviour¶
An ask\_feature is used in combination with incremental search. Each ask\_featurerepresents a question that should be asked in order to find the answer to the question that is subject to incremental search.
"KPQ" stands for Knowledge Precondition Question, and asks a question on the form "Do you know ...", for instance "Do you know in what city she lives?". The question can then be answered with "Yes", "No" or a resolving answer to the embedded question ("Gothenburg", "London" etc.).
Examples¶
A Ask Feature corresponding to the question "In what city does the person live?"¶
<ask_feature predicate="person_city"/>
A KPQ Ask Feature corresponding to the question "Do you know in what city the person lives?"¶
<ask_feature predicate="person_city" kpq="true"/>
