QAnswer presents WikidataComplete
The QA Company presents Wikidata Complete !Most of world's knowledge is encoded in an unstructured way in the form of free text. Would it not be great if we could convert this knowledge in strucutured form! This is our aim with WikidataComplete!
WikidataComplete was developed by Bernhard Kratzwald, Kunpeng GUO and me (Dennis Diefenbach).
Here a little history of this project .... I was in 2019 at the Web Conference in San Francisco presenting a poster. Also Bernhard was there but I didn't knew him yet. During the poster session he passed by and he asked me quite a bit of questions. One or two days later I had the chance to listen to the work he was presenting. I found it intresting but at the first glance nothing more. It was only on my way home, that I had an idea! We could build up on his current work to extract new structured knowledge from free text. A pretty diffcult problem! Some months passed, I was not sure if I should contact him or not, but finally I did. And from there on, we worked pretty intensively on it. The combination of our skills was a really good match and after some more month we finally had a prototype. So thankfull for the results Bernhard could bring up! Guo joint as an intern at our place several month later. He did a great work in putting together all pieces and create this demo. Hopefully we can make a lot of Wikidata edits with it. And it is not finished, we are still working on it .... let's see what the future will bring! Cool stuff I think ; )
