Table of Contents of a special issue on "AI, Wikipedia & Semi-Structured Resources" -- may be of interest. This is of the "using Wikipedia" type -- but perhaps also worth mentioning in the research newsletter if there's space.

The intro "Collaboratively built semi-structured content and Artificial Intelligence: The story so far" should be a good overview.

Free access is possible (see http://www.ida.liu.se/ext/aijd/top/free-access/page.html ) for those who don't have subscriptions.

Dear colleagues,

we are delighted to announce the publication of the Artificial Intelligence Journal Special Issue on "Artificial Intelligence, Wikipedia and Semi-Structured Resources". This Special Issue aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the state of the art of research that exploits semi-structured resources (Wikipedia, most notably) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The issue is the result of a highly selective publication process which involved more than 70 submissions and 100 reviewers: as a result, it presents a series of top-research contributions, which together provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the many different lines of research that have been, and are being, pursued in this highly active area of investigation.

All papers can be accessed from the Artificial Intelligence Journal web-page (see under either "View Articles" or "Special Issues")

http://www.journals.elsevier.com/artificial-intelligence

or accessed directly via Elsevier's ScienceDirect system

Please note that the AI Journal can be accessed free of charge following the instructions found here:

We wish you to enjoy the papers and hope that you will find them useful in your own research!
