Hello,

I have an idea for a new Wikimedia sister project [1] that I would like to 
share, here, for discussion. This idea occurred when considering a recent AI 
project, Delphi [2].

The gist of the idea is a wiki Q&A platform [3] designed for interoperation 
with AI Q&A systems. As envisioned, AI research teams could download the wiki 
Q&A software platform, install the software, and then develop AI Q&A systems 
which interoperate with the scalable wiki platform using the platform’s API. 
The gist includes that these AI systems could bootstrap Q&A pages with 
automatically-generated answers to questions such that expert users could 
subsequently edit these pages, providing input for the continuously improving 
AI systems.

In theory, such structured wiki’s could generate XHTML utilizing appropriate 
Web schema [4][5] for broader interoperability.

Each structured wiki page could contain multiple answers and each answer could 
be supported by explanation and argumentation.

Each structured wiki page, a question and answer(s), could also have an 
accompanying discussion page or threaded forum [6] as well.

Scenarios of specific interest to me include moral question answering systems 
like Delphi [2].

The indicated approach would seemingly require some paraphrase detection 
components to detect paraphrases of questions.

I hope that these ideas are of some interest. Any thoughts on these topics?


Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
