A Quick Tour of BabelNet 1.1

In this paper we present BabelNet 1.1, a brand-new release of the largest "encyclopedic dictionary", obtained from the automatic integration of the most popular computational lexicon of English, i.e. WordNet, and the largest multilingual Web encyclopedia, i.e. Wikipedia. BabelNet 1.1 covers 6 languages and comes with a renewed Web interface, graph explorer and programmatic API. BabelNet is available online at http://www.babelnet.org .
