    Hi everyone,

    I would like to announce with great pleasure the StrepHit IEG
    project kick-off seminar.
    Of course, you are all invited to attend.

    The event will be held in a special day: Wikipedia's birthday!

    Below you can find the details.

    Schedule: 15 January 2016, 11:00 am, Luigi Stringa Conference Room
    Location: Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Via Sommarive 18, Povo,
    Trento, Italy - http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/28933739

    Abstract: We kick-off StrepHit, a project funded by the
    Wikimedia Foundation through the Individual Engagement Grants
    program.
    StrepHit is a Natural Language Processing pipeline that
    understands human language, extracts facts from text and
    produces Wikidata statements with reference URLs.
    It will enhance the data quality of Wikidata by suggesting
    references to validate statements, and will help Wikidata become
    the gold-standard hub of the Open Data landscape.
