Wikibrain: Making Computer Programs Smarter with Knowledge from Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Toby Jia-Jun Li and Brent J. Hecht.

Overview

Containing over 32 million pages in 287 languages, Wikipedia has become the largest ever repository of encyclopedic knowledge. In this work, authors present WikiBrain, a software library authors built that allows researchers and practitioners to incorporate intelligence from Wikipedia into their projects. WikiBrain not only allows users to access basic knowledge structures like the link graph and article text, but also incorporates powerful algorithms from the field of artificial intelligence that allow computers to understand complex semantic relationships, spatiotemporal dynamics and cross-lingual linkages. ! As a proof of concept, authors are employing WikiBrain to better understand the First Law of Geography, which states that, “everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things.” Authors are investigating the specific character of the association between distance and relatedness and are studying the roles of borders, time and culture in this association. Spatial Analysis! WikiBrain provides spatial tagging tools and references for Wikipedia entities. Users can easily connect the concepts in Wikipedia to not only the geographical reference system, but all kinds of spatial reference systems.!
