Hello,
ORES has been out and served for the Wikipedia community for a while, for
the purpose such as counter-vandalism. Having seen the wide usage and
effectiveness of ORES in the community, we'd like to continue working on
ORES development. We plan to improve and redesign ORES algorithms by
incorporating feedbacks of all the stakeholders involved in the entire ORES
ecosystem, such as ORES application developers, ORES application operators,
etc. We want to understand their concerns and values, and come up with
effective algorithmic designs that can balance trade-offs and mitigate
potential conflicts of interests (such as edit quality control v.s.
newcomer protection) to further improve ORES performance.
We will work with Aaron Halfaker and his team to make improvements on ORES
quality control models, and identify its limitations. Here is the project
proposal on Meta-Wiki
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Applying_Value-Sensitive_Algorithm_Design_to_ORES>.
If you are interested or have any thoughts, please feel free to reach out
to me. Thanks!
