Creating a Knowledge Base from a Collaboratively Generated Encyclopedia
Simone Paolo Ponzetto · MADOC (University of Mannheim) · 2007
We present our work on using Wikipedia as a knowledge source for Natural Language Processing. We first describe our previous work on computing semantic relatedness from Wikipedia, and its application to a machine learning based coreference resolution system. Our results suggest that Wikipedia represents a semantic resource to be treasured for NLP applications, and accordingly present the work directions to be explored in the future. 1
