In December 2016, Kristiina Jokinen and Graham Wilcock participated in the 26th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING 2016) in Osaka, Japan. They gave a demonstration of a Nao robot using multilingual WikiTalk to give information from Wikipedia in English and in Japanese. The demonstration is described in the paper What topic do you want to hear about? A bilingual talking robot using English and Japanese Wikipedias by Graham Wilcock, Kristiina Jokinen and Seiichi Yamamoto.

They also presented a poster on Double Topic Shifts in Open-Domain Conversations: Natural Language Interface for a Wikipedia-based Robot Application at the Open Knowledge Base and Question Answering Workshop (OKBQA 2016).
