Wikipedia indeed seems the most valuable for ML, by far. Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and Wiktionary also seem useful there.

Gage's work is probably not prohibitively expensive in terms of money. A few plane tickets to Iowa and New Hampshire every four years, lodging in each for maybe a few days. He also attends Comic-Con every year. He has a…

I think SPARQL and Wikidata are the way to go. Regarding Wikidata and DBpedia: to my understanding the latter gets much of its content by scraping Wikipedia infoboxes. Wikidata will increasingly provide data for those…
Yes, there's also 'instance of' (P31) [1]. Together, 'instance of', 'subclass of' and 'part of' comprise Wikidata's basic membership properties [2]. 'Instance of' and 'subclass of' provide Wikidata with a way to express…
The Wikidata taxonomy is basically the successor to Wikipedia's category tree. It not only irons out language-based differences (e.g. the category tree being different among Chinese, Spanish, English, etc. Wikipedias),…
It's also fun doing this on Wikidata with "subclass of". * Go to a Wikidata item, e.g. "sailboat" [1] * Click on the "subclass of" (P279) value or, if no such value exists, the "instance of" (P31) value * Follow the…

Wikidata's new SPARQL service is probably the most useful topic in this tutorial for software developers and anyone interested in the Semantic Web. It allows one to query the vast, free knowledgebase that backs…
Yes. Kian and WikiBrain are two such projects. Kian is an artificial neural network designed to serve Wikidata, e.g. for classifying humans based on content in Wikipedia [1, 2]. WikiBrain uses Wikidata to recognize the…
