Hi all,

the paper "Autonomously Semantifying Wikipedia" [1] by Fei Wu and Daniel
S. Weldjust won the best paper prize at CIKM (ACM Sixteenth Conference
on Information and Knowledge Management) in Lisbon, Portugal.
I just had a short glance at the paper. Their work seems to apply
Machine Learning techniques in order to improve the coverage and quality
of Wikipedia. Regarding the relationship with Wikipedia they say:

The DBpedia system which extracts information from existing infoboxes
within articles and encapsulate them in a semantic form for query. In
contrast, KYLIN populates infoboxes with new attribute values.

Cheers,

Sören
