Hi Su,
Thanks for your questions.
Imagine you are a fan of Mollywood (a Hollywood inspired nickname for Malayalam Cinema) and you want to improve the article about the following movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarohanam_(1980_film)https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAarohanam_(1980_film)
You just watched the movie, and you want to tell the world about the argument of the movie. Then you create a new section named "Plot". You have an idea about which Wikipedia articles to include in the section, but for a whole picture you ask the tool for recommendations. You query -- format of the query is (article, section name, type of entities to suggest) -- the model to get the following information.
- Where was the argument of the movie supposed to happen? Which would be translated into the query Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Plot", Location) Recommendations: (Kerala, Puducherry, India, Malabar Coast)
- Which topics are addressed in the plot of the movie? Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Plot", TopicalConcept) Recommendations: (Bipolar disorder, Poverty)
Given these recommendations and your previous knowledge you are ready to start editing the section!
You also know this movie had an impact on the Malayalam culture. Then you decide to include a new section named "Impact on the Malayalam society". As before, you want recommendations from the model before editing. Now you query the tool with Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Impact on the Malayalam society", Person) Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Impact on the Malayalam society", Event)
The model provides some suggestions to these queries. The suggestions will be of type Person and Event, respectively. This, along with your previous knowledge you are ready to start editing.
To sum up, the tool suggests Wikipedia entities to insert in the respective text of the section you are going to start editing for the first time. You can also use the tool in cases where the section already exists and it contains some text and links. In this case, you can check whether the section is missing some important entity that has been recommended by the tool.
However, one of our concerns relates to the requirement of specifying the type of entity (Person, Event, TopicalConcept) for which the editor wants recommendations. We are wondering if this requirement is limiting or not. Note that as indicated in our original post, the total number of entity types is in a manageable range (~20), and can be presented in a visual manner (using a dropdown list) to the editor.
Thanks! dlab
