Hi everyone,
We invite your contributions to the Wiki Workshop Hall, a new track as part
of Wiki Workshop 2024 <https://wikiworkshop.org/> which will take place
virtually as a standalone event on June 20, 2024 (tentatively 12:00-19:00
UTC).
The Hall will be a novel space for Wikimedia researchers and Wikimedia
movement members to connect with each other. Through this new track, we aim
to provide a dedicated space for learning, exchange of ideas, the spark of
curiosity, and community building.
We welcome proposals that align with the interactive and collaborative
spirit of the Wiki Workshop Hall and look forward to a wide variety of
content: experiences and learnings, knowledge pieces, how-tos, open
questions, pain points, etc. During the Hall, a breakout room will be set
up for each accepted proposal, so that Wiki Workshop attendees can move
between rooms to interact with their hosts.

CICM brings together the many separate communities that have developed
theoretical and practical solutions for mathematical applications such as
computation, deduction, knowledge management, and user interfaces. It offers a
venue for discussing problems and solutions in each of these areas and their
integration.
CICM 2024 invites submissions in all topics relating to intelligent computer
mathematics, in particular but not limited to
* theorem proving and computer algebra
* mathematical knowledge management
* digital mathematical libraries

Hi!
I’m part of a research group running workshops with online communities, like Wikipedia, to discuss their values and refine existing processes for research. Our next remote workshop will be held on April 11, 2024 · 1:00pm - 3:00pm CST. If you have opinions about how future research in online communities should be conducted or want to learn more about the topic from other Wikipedians, consider signing up here: <https://umn.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_86BhuP3ggWoYcnA?Community=Wikipedia&C…>. All participants will be compensated $40 for their time and effort.
Details of all our research activity can be found on our Meta-Wiki page: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Beyond_the_Individual:_Community-E…>.
Thanks for reading! If you have any questions or concerns, I'm happy to discuss the project further in this thread or on our research talk page.
Hi everyone,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed on Wednesday, March 20, at
9:30 AM PST / 16:30 UTC. Find your local time here
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1710952200>. In line with Women's History
Month, the theme for this showcase is *Addressing Knowledge Gaps*.
You are welcome to watch via the YouTube stream:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6wrr9WShTk. As usual, you can join the
conversation in the YouTube chat as soon as the showcase goes live.
This month's presentation:
Leveraging Recommender Systems to Reduce Content Gaps on WikipediaBy *Mo
Houtti*Many Wikipedians use algorithmic recommender systems to help them
find interesting articles to edit. The algorithms underlying those systems
are driven by a straightforward assumption: we can look at what someone
edited in the past to figure out what they’ll most likely want to edit
next. But the story of what Wikipedians want to edit is almost definitely
more complex than that. For example, our own prior research shows that
Wikipedians prefer prioritizing articles that would minimize content gaps.
So, we asked, what would happen if we incorporated that value into
Wikipedians’ personalized recommendations? Through a controlled experiment
on SuggestBot, we found that recommending more content gap articles didn’t
significantly impact editing, despite those articles being less “optimally
interesting” according to the recommendation algorithm. In this
presentation, I will describe our experiment, our results, and their
implications - including how recommender systems can be one useful strategy
for tackling content gaps on Wikipedia.Bridging the offline and online-
Offline meetings of WikipediansBy *Nicole Schwitter*Wikipedia is primarily
known as an online encyclopaedia, but it also features a noteworthy offline
component: Wikipedia and particularly its German-language edition – which
is one of the largest and most active language versions – is characterised
by regular local offline meetups which give editors the chance to get to
know each other. This talk will present the recently published dewiki
meetup dataset which covers (almost) all offline gatherings organised on
the German-language version of Wikipedia. The dataset covers almost 20
years of offline activity of the German-language Wikipedia, containing 4418
meetups that have been organised with information on attendees, apologies,
date and place of meeting, and minutes recorded. The talk will explain how
the dataset can be used for research, highlight the importance of
considering offline meetings among Wikipedians, and place these insights
within the context of addressing gender gaps within Wikipedia.
Best,
Kinneret
