I know TREC-KBA was (initially) part of Project Archer [1] from the Data Science Research (DSR) group [2] at University of Florida. The group does have a listing of their published and upcoming research papers [3]. Their publications list has links for some, but not all, of the papers. Typically, if you search on the paper title within quotes, and append a simple "filetype:pdf" you'll usually find it somewhere [4].
