Submissions:2019/Machine learning for wiki by university students
This submission has been designated as a lightning talk at WikiConference North America 2019.
Title:
- Machine learning for wiki by university students
Theme:
- Reliability of Information
Type of session:
- Presentation
Abstract:
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.
