Showcase Paralex open-domain question answering in the Open IE Demo.

Improved results UI to highlight paraphrase info and display system reasoning from question to extracted relations.
Discussed w/ Stephen, feedback:
- Add a paraphrase section at top of page to highlight top paraphrases, w/ accordion to display all paraphrases.
- Add accordion effect to results section, display top paraphrase's results by default, collapse rest.
- Add a "query interpretation" under each executed paraphrase.
- Save screen area where possible around freebase card.
Discussed w/ Michael, feedback:
- Reduce lines around paraphrase results section.
- Don't close one accordion section when another is opened.
- Improve display of sentences - at least number them. Maybe center justify and truncate.
- Maybe remove "Extracted Synonyms" section.
- Support "What do we know about X?" questions?

Next Steps:
- Shift focus away from research/backend towards demo/UI until a stable demo is available.
- Implement results page UI by 10-23
Completed:
- Created UI demo mockups and received feedback from Stephen and Oren:
  - UI Mockups
- Chose example query set to satisfy constraints:
  - Non-trivial to parse
  - Handled well by paralex
  - Answerable in the triplestore
- Example queries are:
  - Foods from Africa?
  - Is there any cure for cancer?
  - Are there any famous people from Detroit?
  - How fast are cheetahs?
  - Sources of Antioxidants?
  - Is Obama married and to who?

Analyzed improved paraphrase template scores from Tony
Discussed UI layout with Stephen:
- Show list of answers as in current demo.
- Clicking an answer should reveal paraphrases that lead to the answer.
- Clicking a paraphrase should expand to show sentences that contain triples used to derive the answer.

Current Goals:
