We would like to announce two new papers using Wikipedia.
We hope that the results will be of use for the Wikipedia research
community.

''Analysis of the Wikipedia Category Graph for NLP Applications.''

In this paper, we discuss the Wikipedia category graph. We perform a
graphtheoretic analysis and show that it is a scale-free, small
world graph like other well-known lexical semantic networks.

In this paper, we show how Wikipedia can be used for computing semantic
relatedness between terms. Wikipedia outperforms classical semantic
wordnets on the task of estimating non-classical semantic relations.
