To whom it may interest,
Full of delight, I would like to announce the first beta release of
*StrepHit*:
https://github.com/Wikidata/StrepHit
TL;DR: StrepHit is an intelligent reading agent that understands text
and translates it into *referenced* Wikidata statements.
It is a IEG project funded by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Key features:
-Web spiders to harvest a collection of documents (corpus) from reliable
sources
-automatic corpus analysis to understand the most meaningful verbs
-sentences and semi-structured data extraction
-train a machine learning classifier via crowdsourcing
-*supervised and rule-based fact extraction from text*
-Natural Language Processing utilities
-parallel processing
You can find all the details here:
