[Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Research Showcase] Bridging knowledge gaps

[Janna Layton]

Hi all,

The next Wikimedia Research Showcase will be on October 27, 16:30 UTC (9:30am
PT/ 12:30pm ET/ 18:30pm CEST). The Wikimedia Foundation Research Team will
present on knowledge gaps.

Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Qg98EVmuI

Speaker: Wikimedia Foundation Research Team

Title: Automatic approaches to bridge knowledge gaps in Wikimedia projects

Abstract: In order to advance knowledge equity as part of the Wikimedia
Movement’s 2030 strategic direction, the Research team at the Wikimedia
Foundation has been conducting research to “Address Knowledge Gaps” as one
of its main programs. One core component of this program is to develop
technologies to bridge knowledge gaps. In this talk, we give an overview on
how we approach this task using tools from Machine Learning in four
different contexts: section alignment in content translation, link
recommendation in structured editing, image recommendation in multimedia
knowledge gaps, and the equity of the recommendations themselves. We will
present how these models can assist contributors in addressing knowledge
gaps. Finally, we will discuss the impact of these models in applications
deployed across Wikimedia projects supporting different Product initiatives
at the Wikimedia Foundation.

Is this tool linked to, or using, Wikidata? I can't see where.

For example, the entry for WikiShootMe is:

   https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/tools/mm_wikishootme

which has a corresponding Wikidata item:

   https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26964791

Note that the former has no screenshot image, but Wikidata does; the
QID is not shown on the Toolhub page.
