I saw one of the talks about work in this area on youtube. Other than the slight problem that they intialy focused on rambot articles their aproach looked fairly soild. They also got their bot to the point where it could pretty much write wikipedia articles by extracting info from thre web. The other thing they found was than opening sentances are very standardised which made them easy to extract information from.
