So will Google release open data dumps? Google Knowledge Graph is based on data what was known as Freebase (see various papers). Google is about to shut down Freebase at the end of 2015. Freebase got bought by Google and was kept open and had a great community. (WikiData is still several magnitudes too small to be an alternative) And stalled Freebase data from summer 2015 gets more useless every day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebase Paper: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~nlao/publication/2014.kdd.pdf http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~nlao/publication/2014.kdd.pdf (comparision table on page 3, compare Google KnowledgeVault, KnowledgeGraph and Freebase) Microsoft bought Powerset (for Bing and Cortana AI), IBM recently bought Blekko (for Watson AI). Google closed Freebase and reuse it for KnowledgeGraph (GoogleNow AI and Search). That recent development hurts independent AI research and smaller AI companies.
