Described herein is a technology to facilitate automated question answering. In one implementation, an input question is first received. Different search strategies may be used to search multiple types of data from multiple types of knowledge databases to generate one or more candidate answers to the input question. The one or more candidate answers are evaluated to generate a final answer to the input question.

Question answering framework

Described herein is a technology to facilitate large volume data transfer. In one implementation, an application server determines if an application is invoking a procedure in a data server. If the application is determined to be invoking the procedure, the application data is encoded to compress application data volume. The encoded application data is then transferred from the application server to a data server. At the data server, the application data is decoded for processing by the data server.

Large volume data transfer

Described herein is a technology to facilitate dynamic bridging of an application server and a data server. In accordance with one aspect, a query script based on source code of an application is generated at the application server. The query script may include at least one placeholder that represents a dynamic term in the source code of the application. The query script may be processed by replacing the placeholder with a static term generated based on one or more values received during execution of the application. The query script is then executed to manage data at a data server.
