[Wiki-research-l] Call for tutorials: The Web Conference 2021

[Robert West]

Dear all,

TL;DR:

Please consider submitting proposals for tutorials to be held at The Web
Conference 2021:
https://www2021.thewebconf.org/authors/call-for-tutorials/

Submission deadline: 30 Nov 2020
Tutorial dates: 19-23 April 2021

This year we feature a special track for interactive hands-on tutorials.
Hands-on tutorials may be challenging to organize in an online-only
setting, but keeping up the hands-on component is especially important in
these times where ever more interaction is becoming remote and
asynchronous. With an engaging hands-on tutorial, we can make a real
difference in people's lives, now more than ever!

Bob West (EPFL)
Marinka Zitnik (Harvard)

==

More info:

We invite tutorial proposals on current and emerging topics related to the
World Wide Web, broadly construed, i.e., including mobile and other
Internet- and online-enabled modes of interaction and communication.
Tutorials serve an educational function and are expected to provide a
balanced perspective on a field of research. It is expected that tutorials
target audiences with a diverse range of interests and backgrounds:
beginners, developers, designers, researchers, practitioners, users,
lecturers, and representatives of governments and funding agencies who want
to learn about emerging research areas or develop advanced skills in areas
about which they are already knowledgeable. Only a subset of those profiles
can be addressed in each tutorial. Tutorial proposals are welcome in both
technological (such as algorithmic and software issues) as well as
socio-economic domains (such as market design, interaction design, and
collaboration technologies).

To bridge the gap between research and real-world applications, we are
accepting tutorial proposals in the following two categories:

(1) Hands-on tutorials are targeted at novice as well as moderately skilled
users, with a focus on providing hands-on experience to the attendees. The
pace of the tutorial should be set such that beginners can follow along
comfortably. The covered tools and systems must have a proven track record
of success in the community. Hands-on tutorials introduce the motivation
behind the tools and the associated fundamental concepts and work through
examples to demonstrate applications in real-world use cases. We also
welcome proposals for creative and unconventional training sessions, such
as hackathons, competitions/challenges, etc. as long as participants can
learn practical skills and participate in an active way.

(2) Lecture-style tutorials cover the state-of-the-art research,
development, and applications in a specific data mining related area, and
stimulate and facilitate future work. Tutorials on interdisciplinary
directions, bridging scientific research and applied communities, novel and
fast growing directions, and significant applications are highly
encouraged. We also encourage tutorials in areas that may be different from
the mainstream conference but are still very much related to the Web
Conference mission and objectives of gaining insight from data. The
conference is paying particular attention to themes around the Web’s
impact, technical and socio-technical advances that enhance and expand Web
platforms and technologies, and issues of democratizing access to Web
information and knowledge. Tutorials on these themes are highly encouraged.
Hands-on tutorials feature in-depth hands-on training on cutting edge
systems and tools of relevance to the Web Conference community: data
mining, machine learning, crowdsourcing, computational social science,
security/privacy/trust, semantics & knowledge, systems, user experience &
accessibility, mobile computing.

All tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program and
will be available free of charge to the attendees of the conference. A
tutorial can be for half a day, i.e., 3-4 hours of audience interaction,
including questions, or a full day, which corresponds to 7 hours. Teams of
2-3 presenters are encouraged, though single-presenter tutorials are
possible. Preference will be given to applications that involve at least
one expert in the areas covered by the proposal.

Registration fees will be waived for tutorial presenters.

[Wiki-research-l] WikiHist.html: English Wikipedia's Full Revision History in HTML Format

[Robert West]

Hi all,

*TL;DR:*

So far, Wikipedia's full revision history has been available only in wiki
markup, not in HTML -- a big limitation for researchers. We are changing
this by releasing WikiHist.html, Wikipedia's full history (up until March
2019) in HTML:
https://zenodo.org/record/3605388 <https://t.co/ZhK7kKaPCi?amp=1>
Caveat emptor: 7 TB!

Tweet: https://twitter.com/cervisiarius/status/1301791239558311936

*More details:*

Wikipedia is written in the wikitext markup language. When serving content,
the MediaWiki software that powers Wikipedia parses wikitext to HTML,
thereby inserting additional content by expanding macros (templates and
modules). Hence, researchers who intend to analyze Wikipedia as seen by its
readers should work with HTML, rather than wikitext. Since Wikipedia’s
revision history is made publicly available by the Wikimedia Foundation
exclusively in wikitext format, researchers have had to produce HTML
themselves, typically by using Wikipedia’s REST API for ad-hoc
wikitext-to-HTML parsing. This approach, however, (1) does not scale to
very large amounts of data and (2) does not correctly expand macros in
historical article revisions.

We have solved these problems by developing a parallelized architecture for
parsing massive amounts of wikitext using local instances of MediaWiki,
enhanced with the capacity of correct historical macro expansion. By
deploying our system, we produce and hereby release WikiHist.html, English
Wikipedia’s full revision history in HTML format. It comprises the HTML
content of 580M revisions of 5.8M articles generated from the full English
Wikipedia history spanning 18 years from 1 January 2001 to 1 March 2019.
Boilerplate content such as page headers, footers, and navigation sidebars
are not included in the HTML.

For more details, please refer to https://zenodo.org/record/3605388
<https://t.co/ZhK7kKaPCi?amp=1> and to the dataset paper:

Blagoj Mitrevski, Tiziano Piccardi, and Robert West: WikiHist.html: English
Wikipedia’s Full Revision History in HTML Format. In *Proceedings of the
14th International AAAI Conference on Web and Social Media,* 2020.

[Wiki-research-l] Mapping between Wikidata and Google Knowledge Graph (ex-Freebase)

[Robert West]

Hi all,

I was wondering what's the best way to get a mapping between Wikidata QIDs
and Google Knowledge Graph (ex-Freebase) MIDs.

We tried to extract the mapping from Wikidata, using the property
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P646, among others, but it doesn't
seem complete, with mappings for only 1.3 million entities -- much less
than the number of Wikidata entities.

Is there maybe a dedicated dataset or API for this mapping?

Alternatively, does anyone know of a way of querying the Google KG API [1]
directly with the name of a Wikipedia article (or with a Wikidata QID),
rather than an arbitrary plain-text string?

Thanks!

[Wiki-research-l] New paper: "Sudden Attention Shifts on Wikipedia Following COVID-19 Mobility Restrictions"

[Robert West]

Dear all,

As several Wikipedia researchers are working toward understanding
Wikipedia's role during this pandemic, I thought I'd share our recent paper
(abstract below):

"Sudden Attention Shifts on Wikipedia Following COVID-19 Mobility
Restrictions"
https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.08505

Stay safe, everyone on this list!
Bob

Authors:
Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Kristina Gligorić, Maxime Peyrard, Florian Lemmerich,
Markus Strohmaier, Robert West

Abstract:
We study how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, alongside
the severe mobility restrictions that ensued, has impacted information
access on Wikipedia, the world's largest online encyclopedia. A
longitudinal analysis that combines pageview statistics for 12 Wikipedia
language editions with mobility reports published by Apple and Google
reveals a massive increase in access volume, accompanied by a stark shift
in topical interests. Health- and entertainment- related topics are found
to have gained, and sports- and transportation- related topics, to have
lost attention. Interestingly, while the interest in health-related topics
was transient, that in entertainment topics is lingering and even
increasing. These changes began at the time when mobility was restricted
and are most pronounced for language editions associated with countries, in
which the most severe mobility restrictions were implemented, indicating
that the interest shift might be caused by people's spending more time at
home. Our results highlight the utility of Wikipedia for studying reactions
to the pandemic across the globe, and illustrate how the disease is
rippling through society.

[Wiki-research-l] Call for papers: Workshop on Innovative Ideas in Data Science (IID) @ The Web Conference 2020

[Robert West]

Workshop on Innovative Ideas in Data Science (IID)

IID is a half-day workshop organized in conjunction with the *The Web
Conference* in Taipei, Taiwan, on Monday, *20 April 2020.*

http://hyadatalab.com/IID2020/
Workshop goals

The goal of IID is to provide a venue for researchers and practitioners
from both academia and industry to discuss innovative, thought-provoking,
and visionary ideas in data science. The emphasis is on potentially
disruptive research directions that challenge current research agendas and
suggest future ones.

Many workshops associated with The Web Conference have become more like
mini-conferences themselves. Our vision for IID is complementary: it is a
place for early-stage work on blue-sky, high-risk, and high-reward
research, where the authors can benefit from community feedback.

We are inviting short position papers, up to 4 pages long, and are
especially (but not exclusively) looking for papers that do at least one of
the following:


   -

   identify fundamental open questions (including both new questions and
   old-but-forgotten questions),
   -

   introduce a new way of thinking,
   -

   offer a constructive critique of current research agendas,
   -

   reframe or debunk existing work,
   -

   report unexpected early results,
   -

   suggest promising but unproven ideas,
   -

   propose novel evaluation methods.


An ideal submission is one that (1) is likely to stimulate discussion and
(2) has the potential to open up a new line of research. We do not require
full evaluations; well-reasoned arguments or preliminary evaluations could
be sufficient.
Submission information

We welcome both novel research papers, work-in-progress papers, and
visionary papers. All papers will be peer-reviewed in single-blind mode
(i.e., authors do not need to anonymize their papers).

Submissions should be in PDF, written in English, with a maximum of 4 pages
(not including references). Shorter papers are also welcome.

Please format your paper using the ACM SIG conference proceedings template
(use sample-sigconf.pdf as the template) available at
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template

Submit at EasyChair: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iid2020

At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the workshop to
present the work.
Important dates

If authors want paper to appear in proceedings:

   -

   Submission deadline: 24 January 2020
   -

   Author feedback: 10 February 2020
   -

   Camera-ready version due: 17 February 2020

If authors do not want paper to appear in proceedings:

   -

   Submission deadline: 21 February 2020
   -

   Author feedback: 6 March 2020

[Wiki-research-l] Cr5: a new model for crosslingual document representation

[Robert West]

Hi all,

A quick message to point out a recent model for crosslingual document
embedding that we developed. It is called Cr5 (for "Crosslingual Document
Embedding as Reduced-Rank Ridge Regression") and essentially lets you take
any text document in any language and represent it as a vector in a
language-independent way, such that documents can be compared across
languages. For instance, the Finnish Wikipedia article Olut
 will result in a similar vector
representation as the English article Beer
, since they are about the same
concept, and despite the fact that they have nearly no surface-level
similarities in terms of vocabulary etc.

We are publishing a pre-trained model with a small API that is very easy to
use:

https://github.com/epfl-dlab/Cr5

The model currently supports 28 languages [1], but it can readily be
trained for different sets of languages (code provided on GitHub, see
above).

The provided model was trained on Wikipedia (surprise...) and essentially
sources information on how words in different languages correspond to one
another from the crosslingual article alignments provided by Wikidata [2].
While the resulting model can be applied to any text (not just Wikipedia
articles), it works particularly well on Wikipedia [3] -- which is the
reason I'm writing this email: I really hope that the community will start
using Cr5 to make better sense of Wikipedia across languages. Ideas abound:
crosslingual section alignment, crosslingual plagiarism detection,
comparison of topical foci across languages, crosslingual keyword search,
etc. etc.

If there are any questions or comments, do drop us a line!

https://dlab.epfl.ch/people/west/pub/Josifoski-Paskov-Paskov-Jaggi-West_WSDM-19.pdf

Wikipedia, outperforming the previously best method, published by Facebook,
by a wide margin.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] feedback appreciated

[Robert West]

Hi Caroline,

The premise of this article seems to be that everyone needs to solve either
the immediate or the distant problems. No one (and certainly not Elon Musk)
would argue that there are no immediate problems with AI, but why should
that keep us from thinking ahead?

In a company, too, you have plumbers who fix the bathrooms today and
strategists who plan business 20 years ahead. We need both. If the plumbers
didn't worry about the immediate problems, the strategists couldn't do
their jobs. If the strategists didn't worry about the distant problems, the
plumbers might not have jobs down the road.

Also, your argument stands on sandy ground from paragraph one, where you
claim that AI will never threaten humanity, without giving the inkling of
an argument.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Citation Project - Comments Welcome!

[Robert West]

Hi,

This looks like a great project!

One quick thought: it would be extremely useful for your purposes to
be able to study not only the static structure of references pointing
from Wikipedia to external documents, but also how these references
are used. Tracking this traffic is currently impossible, since it will
only leave a footprint on the webserver of the link target, not on
Wikimedia's webservers.

Have you thought about the possibility of funneling external links
through a Wikimedia URL, which would allow you to record the links
through which users leave Wikipedia?

I know this would be a major change to the infrastructure, and I'm not
sure how the privacy implications would line up with Wikipedia's
guidelines, but it's worthwhile giving it some serious thought. At the
very least, Wikimedia could store counts of external-link clicks,
without linking those clicks to users' Wikimedia-internal browse
traces.

Wiki Workshop 2017

Held at *WWW 2017* (International World Wide Web Conference), Perth,
Australia, April 4, 2017


Workshop webpage:

http://www.wikiworkshop.org
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers exploring all
aspects of Wikimedia websites such as Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons.
With members of the Wikimedia Foundation's Research team on the organizing
committee and with the experience of successful workshops in 2015
<http://snap.stanford.edu/wiki-icwsm15/> and 2016
<http://snap.stanford.edu/wikiworkshop2016/>, we aim to continue
facilitating a direct pathway for exchanging ideas between the organization
that operates Wikimedia websites and the researchers interested in studying
them.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to

   - new technologies and initiatives to grow content, quality, diversity,
   and participation across Wikimedia projects
   - use of bots, algorithms, and crowdsourcing strategies to curate,
   source, or verify content and structured data
   - bias in content and gaps of knowledge
   - diversity of Wikimedia editors and users
   - understanding editor motivations, engagement models, and incentives
   - Wikimedia consumer motivations and their needs: readers, researchers,
   tool/API developers
   - innovative uses of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects for AI and
   NLP applications
   - consensus-finding and conflict resolution on editorial issues
   - participation in discussions and their dynamics
   - dynamics of content reuse across projects and the impact of policies
   and community norms on reuse
   - privacy
   - collaborative content creation (unstructured, semi-structured, or
   structured)
   - collaborative task management
   - innovative uses of Wikimedia projects' content and consumption
   patterns as sensors for real-world events, culture, etc.

Papers should be 1 to 8 pages long and will be published on the workshop
webpage and optionally (depending on the authors' choice) in the workshop
proceedings. Authors whose papers are accepted to the workshop will have
the opportunity to participate in a poster session.

We explicitly encourage the submission of preliminary work in the form of
extended abstracts (1 or 2 pages).
KEY DATES

If authors want paper to appear in proceedings:

   - Submission deadline: *January 31, 2017* (end of day anywhere on Earth)
   - Author feedback: February 7, 2017
   - Camera-ready version due: February 14, 2017

If authors *do not* want paper to appear in proceedings:

   - Submission deadline: *February 26, 2017*
   - Author feedback: March 7, 2017

Please see workshop webpage for formatting and submission instructions.

[Wiki-research-l] Identifying Wikipedia stubs in various languages

[Robert West]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if there's a straightforward (ideally
language-independent) way of identifying stub articles in Wikipedia?

Whatever works is ok, whether it's publicly available data or data
accessible only on the WMF cluster.

I've found lists for various languages (e.g., Italian
 or English
), but the lists
are in different formats, so separate code is required for each language,
which doesn't scale.

I guess in the worst case, I'll have to grep for the respective stub
templates in the respective wikitext dumps, but even this requires to know
for each language what the respective template is. So if anyone could point
me to a list of stub templates in different languages, that would also be
appreciated.

Thanks!
Bob

Hi everyone,

Do we have the pagecounts data since 2007 at WMF on HDFS?
I mean this data:
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/

I could find this:
hdfs:/wmf/data/archive/pagecounts-all-sites/
but it the data spans only about 2 years, not the entire time since 2007.
