Botipedia

This information is from a presentation by the project founder, Philip M. Parker.

Botipedia is in Beta. It strives to have a page for every person, place, and thing. Things were easy. Places have the benefit of a geolocation. People are causing his team difficulty. People expectations: living people in Wikipedia, journalists egosurfing, researchers, at the bottom of the "popularity pyramid" [Tim's phrase] are people with ordinary social media accounts and below that people in public directories. It will generate an article on any word, any number.

Team is playing with an AI chatbot interface in the future. No hallucination is allowed. Chat will accept a table of numbers and will do a cluster analysis. Goal is that "no results found" is never returned from Botipedia.

Phil demonstrated a query of veterans who perished in all wars regardless of military rank. In cntrast, Wikipedia uses rank for notability and excludes.

Botipedia has millions of images going back to the beginning of photography.

Still working to handle people's names.

Botipedia distinguishes provenance from LLAMA2-invented answers and will tell users it's invented.

Users can feed the documents to the model and instruct it to return only direct quotations from the documents. Botipedia bypasses the LLM for certain types of queries.
