Abstract:

slides

In the recent past, artificial intelligence and machine learning were tools for specialists and computer scientists. Now, recent advances in technology, data availability, and social awareness have greatly increased the ease with which students can use techniques in data science to do interesting research in Wikimedia projects as part of a routine college learning experience.

This presentation will present Wikimedia-based machine learning projects at the University of Virginia's School of Data Science as examples of projects which any students might do to practice their lessons and be awesome in the wiki.
