Hi Su,

Thanks for your questions.

Imagine you are a fan of Mollywood (a Hollywood inspired nickname for Malayalam 
Cinema) and you want to improve the article about the following movie: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aarohanam_(1980_film)<https://slack-redir.net/link?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FAarohanam_(1980_film)>

You just watched the movie, and you want to tell the world about the argument 
of the movie. Then you create a new section named "Plot". You have an idea 
about which Wikipedia articles to include in the section, but for a whole 
picture you ask the tool for recommendations. You query -- format of the query 
is (article, section name, type of entities to suggest) -- the model to get the 
following information.

- Where was the argument of the movie supposed to happen?
Which would be translated into the query Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Plot", 
Location)
Recommendations: (Kerala, Puducherry, India, Malabar Coast)

- Which topics are addressed in the plot of the movie?
Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Plot", TopicalConcept)
Recommendations: (Bipolar disorder,  Poverty)

Given these recommendations and your previous knowledge you are ready to start 
editing the section!

You also know this movie had an impact on the Malayalam culture. Then you 
decide to include a new section named "Impact on the Malayalam society". As 
before, you want recommendations from the model before editing. Now you query 
the tool with
Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Impact on the Malayalam society", Person)
Query(Aarohanam_(1980_film), "Impact on the Malayalam society", Event)

The model provides some suggestions to these queries. The suggestions will be 
of type Person and Event, respectively. This, along with your previous 
knowledge you are ready to start editing.

To sum up, the tool suggests Wikipedia entities to insert in the respective 
text of the section you are going to start editing for the first time. You can 
also use the tool in cases where the section already exists and it contains 
some text and links. In this case, you can check whether the section is missing 
some important entity that has been recommended by the tool.

However, one of our concerns relates to the requirement of specifying the type 
of entity (Person, Event, TopicalConcept) for which the editor wants 
recommendations. We are wondering if this requirement is limiting or not. Note 
that as indicated in our original post, the total number of entity types is in 
a manageable range (~20), and can be presented in a visual manner (using a 
dropdown list) to the editor.

Thanks!
