This is a Q&A chatbot that you can run and ask questions about information from Wikipedia.

See detailed design documentation here

• Python 3.6+
• Pip3

First, you will need to install Postgres and run a data server with a database. For Mac users:

• Option 1: You can download and install Postgres.app. Launch the app and click "Initialize" to start a data server. A database will automatically be created for you.
• Option 2: Install Postgres with Homebrew
  • brew install postgresql
  • brew services start postgresql

Then you need to clone (or download) this repository, go to the root directory of this project on your machine, and run pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

Run python3 ./data_loader.py <dbname> first to load the data in the database. As output, you should see a list of titles of Wikipedia pages that you can ask questions about with the CLI.

Finally, run python3 ./cli.py <dbname> to start the CLI, and it should prompt you to start asking questions.

You can try some questions like:

• What is Anarchism?
• What is Aristotle famous for?
• Who was Achilles' mother?
• Who was Thetis?

Note: If you want to load more topics (Wikipedia pages) in the database, you can modify this code line before running data_loader.py.
