I was *so* hoping this was going to be about the Machine Queen of Mars
.
But this looks amazing too...

[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Research Showcase] March 17: Curiosity

2021-03-11 Thread Janna Layton 
In this showcase, Prof. Danielle Bassett will present recent work studying
individual and collective curiosity as network building processes using
Wikipedia.

Date/Time: March 17, 16:30 UTC (9:30am PT/12:30pm ET/17:30pm CET)
Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw2s_Y4J2tI

Speaker: Danielle Bassett (University of Pennsylvania)

Title: The curious human

Abstract: The human mind is curious. It is strange, remarkable, and
mystifying; it is eager, probing, questioning. Despite its pervasiveness
and its relevance for our well-being, scientific studies of human curiosity
that bridge both the organ of curiosity and the object of curiosity remain
in their infancy. In this talk, I will integrate historical, philosophical,
and psychological perspectives with techniques from applied mathematics and
statistical physics to study individual and collective curiosity. In the
former, I will evaluate how humans walk on the knowledge network of
Wikipedia during unconstrained browsing. In doing so, we will capture
idiosyncratic forms of curiosity that span multiple millennia, cultures,
languages, and timescales. In the latter, I will consider the fruition of
collective curiosity in the building of scientific knowledge as encoded in
Wikipedia. Throughout, I will make a case for the position that individual
and collective curiosity are both network building processes, providing a
connective counterpoint to the common acquisitional account of curiosity in
humans.

[Wikimedia-l] Grants video tutorials no longer available

2021-03-11 Thread Strainu 
Hey folks,

I'm not sure where should I direct my question, but the video grant
tutorials linked from
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Tutorial seem to be
offline since at least early 2020.
Is there any way to retrieve them?
