Charlie, Lydia, Lucie, and Wikdiatans, It's so great to have two examples of undergraduate theses that are both Wikidata and computer science focused. (CC WUaS seeks to require an undergraduate thesis in all countries' main languages for free best STEM-centric CC OCW degrees, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC to begin). CC WUaS seeks to develop CC MIT OCW much much further in CC Wikdiata/Wikibase and with AI, machine learning and machine translation - and these theses are the first! :)
Thank you for writing (and focusing) these!
