Pursuant to prior discussions about the need for a research
policy on Wikipedia, WikiProject Research is drafting a
policy regarding the recruitment of Wikipedia users to
participate in studies.
At this time, we have a proposed policy, and an accompanying
group that would facilitate recruitment of subjects in much
the same way that the Bot Approvals Group approves bots.
The policy proposal can be found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Research
The Subject Recruitment Approvals Group mentioned in the proposal
is being described at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Subject_Recruitment_Approvals_Group
Before we move forward with seeking approval from the Wikipedia
community, we would like additional input about the proposal,
and would welcome additional help improving it.
Also, please consider participating in WikiProject Research at:

The WMF Research team has published a new pageview report of inbound
traffic coming from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Reddit.[1]
The report contains a list of all articles that received at least 500 views
from one or more of these platforms (i.e. someone clicked a link on Twitter
that sent them directly to a Wikipedia article). The report is available
on-wiki and will be updated daily at around 14:00 UTC with traffic counts
from the previous calendar day.
We believe this report provides editors with a valuable new information
source. Daily inbound social media traffic stats can help editors monitor
edits to articles that are going viral on social media sites and/or are
being linked to by the social media platform itself in order to fact-check
disinformation and other controversial content[2][3].
The social media traffic report also contains additional public article
metadata that may be useful in the context of monitoring articles that are
receiving unexpected attention from social media sites, such as...
- the total number of pageviews (from all sources) that article received
in the same period of time
- the number of pageviews the article received from the same platform
(e.g. Facebook) the previous day (two days ago)
- the number of editors who have the page on their watchlist
- the number of editors who have watchlisted the page AND recently
visited it
We want your feedback! We have some ideas of our own for how to improve the
report, but we want to hear yours! If you have feature suggestions, please
add them here.[4] We intend to maintain this daily report for at least the
next two months. If we receive feedback that the report is useful, we are
considering making it available indefinitely.
If you have other questions about the report, please first check out our
(still growing) FAQ [5]. All questions, comments, concerns, ideas, etc. are
welcome on the project talkpage on Meta.[4]

>From the announcement: *"Mozilla is announcing today the creation of a
COVID-19 Solutions Fund as part of the Mozilla Open Source Support Program
(MOSS). Through this fund, we will provide awards of up to $50,000 each to
open source technology projects which are responding to the COVID-19
pandemic in some way. *
*The MOSS Program, created in 2015, broadens access, increases security,
and empowers users by providing catalytic funding to open source
technologists. We have already seen inspiring examples of open source
technology being used to increase the capacity of the world’s healthcare
systems to cope with this crisis. For example, just a few days ago, the
University of Florida Center for Safety, Simulation, and Advanced Learning
Technologies released an open source ventilator
<https://simulation.health.ufl.edu/technology-development/open-source-ventil…>.
We believe there are many more life-saving open source technologies in the
world.*
*As part of the COVID-19 Solutions Fund, we will accept applications that
are hardware (e.g., an open source ventilator), software (e.g., a platform
that connects hospitals with people who have 3D printers who can print
parts for that open source ventilator), as well as software that solves for
secondary effects of COVID-19 (e.g., a browser plugin that combats COVID
related misinformation)."*

Hi all,
We just launched [[WM:Techblog]] <https://techblog.wikimedia.org/>, a new
place to share stories from the Wikimedia technical community with the
world. Yay!
We created this venue to provide a central place for people to share
stories about the technical work that they do— like:
-
How to run a top ten website that is all Open Source?
-
How do we make our codebase more modular and future-proof?
-
How do we come together to work on technical projects?
-
How to develop a product for many different languages?
-
How do new tools and bots help run Wikimedia projects?
-
What can we learn from data science and research?
-
And, much more…
Check out these posts for examples:

Hi all,
The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new
Formal Collaboration [1] with the University of Michigan and the University
of Washington, to work collaboratively on "The Role of Images for Knowledge
Understanding", as part of our Knowledge Gaps research efforts [3].
Eytan Adar (University of Michigan) and Katharina Reinecke (University of
Washington) will be the main formal collaborators contributing to this
project. We are thankful to them for agreeing to spend their time and
expertise on this project in the coming year! Also, many thanks to those
of you who have already worked with us as we were shaping the proposal for
this project.
We aim to keep the research documentation for this program in the
corresponding research page on meta [2], which will link to Epic level
Phabricator task capturing and as much as possible all research tasks
related to this project. I will be the point of contact for this research
in the Wikimedia Foundation. Please feel free to reach out if you have
comments or questions about the research!
Looking forward to working on this project!

=====================================================================
RESEARCH, IN-USE AND POSITION PAPERS
The 22nd International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management concerns all aspects of eliciting, acquiring, modeling and managing knowledge, and the role of knowledge in the construction of systems and services for the semantic web, knowledge management, e-business, natural language processing, intelligent information integration, and so on.
The special theme of EKAW 2020 is "Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering". While recent reported breaches relate predominantly to machine learning systems, it is not impossible to envision ethical breaches in knowledge engineering more broadly and, conversely, devise methods and techniques to ensure no or minimal harm in knowledge acquisition, modelling, and knowledge-driven information systems. EKAW 2020 will put a special emphasis on the importance of Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management to keep fostering trustworthy systems.
PROCEEDINGS
=============
The proceedings of the research track will be published by Springer Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence series<http://www.springer.com/lncs>.

TYPE OF PAPERS
===============
We will accept different types of papers. The papers will all have the same status and follow the same formatting guidelines in the proceedings but will receive special treatment during the reviewing phase. In particular, each paper type will be subject to its own evaluation criteria. The Programme Committee will also make sure that there is a reasonable balance of the paper types accepted. At submission time the paper has to be clearly identified as belonging to one of the following categories.
* Research papers: These are standard papers presenting a novel method, technique or analysis with appropriate empirical or other types of evaluation as a proof-of-concept. The main evaluation criteria here will be originality, technical soundness and validation.
* In-use papers: Here we are expecting papers describing applications of knowledge management and engineering in real environments. Applications need to address a sufficiently interesting and challenging problem on real-world datasets, involving many users, etc. The focus is less on the originality of the approach and more on presenting systems that solve a significant problem while addressing the particular challenges that come with the use of real-world data. Evaluations are essential for this type of paper and should involve a representative subset of the actual users of the system.
* Position papers: We invite researchers to also publish position papers, which describe novel and innovative ideas. Position papers may also comprise an analysis of currently unsolved problems, or review these problems from a new perspective, in order to contribute to a better understanding of these problems in the research community. We expect that such papers will guide future research by highlighting critical assumptions, motivating the difficulty of a certain problem or explaining why current techniques are not sufficient, possibly corroborated by quantitative and qualitative arguments.
IMPORTANT DATES
================
* Abstract deadline: April 23, 2020
* Submission deadline: April 30, 2020
* Notification of acceptance: June 23, 2020
* Camera-ready paper: July 2, 2020

This is the 1st call for systems for the SemTab 2020 Semantic Web Challenge on Tabular Data to Knowledge Graph Matching collocated with the International Semantic Web Conference: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/isg/challenges/sem-tab/
Tabular data to Knowledge Graph (KG) matching is the process of assigning semantic tags from Knowledge Graphs (e.g., Wikidata or DBpedia) to the elements of the table. This task however is often difficult in practice due to metadata (e.g., table and column names) being missing, incomplete or ambiguous.
This challenge aims at benchmarking systems dealing with the tabular data to KG matching problem, so as to facilitate their comparison on the same basis and the reproducibility of the results.
Challenge Tasks
----------------------
The challenge includes the following tasks organised into several evaluation rounds:
- Assigning a semantic type (e.g., a KG class) to a column: CTA task.
- Matching a cell to a KG entity: CEA task.
- Assigning a KG property to the relationship between two columns: CPA task
The challenge will be run with the support of the AICrowd platform.
Discussion group
----------------------
We have a discussion group for the challenge where we share the latest news with the participants and we discuss issues risen during the evaluation rounds:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/sem-tab-challenge
