X2Q: Your Personal Example-based Graph Explorer
Summary: X2Q introduces a flexible multi-exemplar query paradigm for interactive knowledge-graph exploration. Iteratively builds examples, presents partial results and improvement suggestions, and uses user feedback to filter irrelevant options, with real-time answers on Freebase.
