Paper Abstract:
|
The online encyclopedia Wikipedia is currently one of the best known collaboratively edited knowledge sources. While
humans are able to inform themselves by reading the according articles in Wikipedia, machines lack the ability to
understand natural language. Thus, a central task of bridging this deficit is the text technological reconstruction of the
information held in Wikipedia to make this knowledge available to artificial agents. Our paper presents an approach for a
connection between the embodied conversational agent Max and an ontology-based representation of encyclopedic
knowledge held in Wikipedia. Thereby we strive for an automatic distinction between static and dynamic knowledge to
enable a more human-like knowledge handling by the agent. The approach to infer stable knowledge proposed in this
paper grounds on the so-called history pages provided by Wikipedia. |
