Re: [Wiki-research-l] Research Project on Real-Time Vandal Detection during Editing

2018-02-12 Thread Leila Zia 
Hi Martin,

Thanks for the update. I'm very interested to learn more once you have
more to share.

I'm not sure if you're aware of the research on sockpuppet detection.
It's a different problem than what you describe here, but I would not
be surprised if learnings from each of these projects can help
another. You can keep in touch with the sockpuppet detection at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Sockpuppet_detection_in_Wikimedia_projects

Also, if you will have early results, feel free to submit them as part
of the March 11 deadline (http://wikiworkshop.org/2018/#dates) for
Wiki Workshop. It would be great to have a chance to discuss this
research more in person if you or your team will end up being in Lyon
for TWC2019.

Best,
Leila

What would be the best way to record - in Wikidata - that a paper has 
been described in Wikimedia Research Newsletter? I have made an attempt 
here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q48556446#P1343

This is a helpful way of communicating this, along with dates and links. Thanks 
for what appears to be a new and clearer (at least to me) format in this.
