Semantic Search with AskWiki

AskWiki is a collaboration project of Wikimedia Foundation and AskMeNow, a company that is specialized in answering questions in natural language via a mobile phone.

Best Paper Award received

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Best Paper AwardI am very happy that we received the Best Paper Award of the K-CAP 2007 for our paper “Interactive Thesaurus Assessment for Automatic Document Annotation”. This was really unexpected, especially for me, as this was my first paper on my first conference.

All the more I am thankful for this honour and now very motivated for my further work. :-)
