| Yes. Kian and WikiBrain are two such projects. Kian is an artificial neural network designed to serve Wikidata, e.g. for classifying humans based on content in Wikipedia [1, 2]. WikiBrain uses Wikidata to recognize the type of relationships or connections between Wikipedia concepts [3, 4]. I suspect larger applications of Wikidata in AI will follow. For example, as of 2010, IBM Watson acquired at least some of its content from DBpedia and YAGO [5], which ultimately derive much of their content from scraping Wikipedia's infoboxes and category system. Now, come 2015, Wikidata is supplying data for some Wikidata infoboxes, and the proportion of infoboxes that pull from structured data in Wikidata will increase over time. And I expect Wikipedia's category system will gradually be supplanted by Wikidata's more expressive property system over time. Thus, I imagine Wikidata will form a semantic backbone for Q&A systems like Watson in the future. The Wikidata development team's work is funded through donations by the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Google, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, and Yandex [6]. So organizations with an interest in AI see potential in Wikidata. 1. https://github.com/Ladsgroup/Kian 2. http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.com/2015/09/wikidata-ten-que... 3. https://github.com/shilad/wikibrain 4. http://conservancy.umn.edu/bitstream/handle/11299/163269/Und... 5. http://www.aaai.org/Magazine/Watson/watson.php 6. http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2014/10/178785-wikidata/fullte... |
