Forwarding. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Jordan Adler" <jmadler(a)google.com> Date: Aug 11, 2016 13:06 Subject: [Commons-l] Programmatically categorizing media in the Commons with Machine Learning To: "commons-l(a)wikimedia.org" <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: "Ray Sakai" <rsakai(a)reactive.co.jp>, "Ram Ramanathan" < ramramanathan(a)google.com>, "Kazunori Sato" <kazsato(a)google.com> Hey folks! A few months back a colleague of mine was looking for some unstructured images to analyze as part of a demo for the Google Cloud Vision API <https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2016/05/explore-the-galaxy-of-images…>. Luckily, I knew just the place <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Media_needing_categories>, and the resulting demo <http://vision-explorer.reactive.ai/>, built by Reactive Inc., is pretty awesome. It was shared on-stage by Jeff Dean during the keynote <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgWHeT_OwHc&feature=youtu.be&t=2h1m19s> at GCP NEXT 2016. I wanted to quickly share the data from the programmatically identified images so it could be used to help categorize the media in the Commons. There's about 80,000 images worth of data: - map.txt <https://storage.googleapis.com/gcs-samples2-explorer/reprocess/map.txt> (5.9MB): A single text file mapping id to filename in a "id : filename" format, one per line - results.tar.gz <https://storage.googleapis.com/gcs-samples2-explorer/reprocess/results.tar.…> (29.6MB): a tgz'd directory of json files representing the output of the API <https://cloud.google.com/vision/reference/rest/v1/images/annotate#response-…>, in the format "${id}.jpg.json" We're making this data available under the CC0 license, and these links will likely be live for at least a few weeks. If you're interested in working with the Cloud Vision API to tag other images in the Commons, talk to the WMF Community Tech team. Thanks for your help! _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list Commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l

The Revision Scoring weekly update
by Aaron Halfaker 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hey folks! This is the 32 - 41st weekly update from the revision scoring team that we have sent to this mailing list. We've been busy, but our reporting fell behind. So here I am getting us caught up! This is going to be a long one. Bear with me. One major thing we've done in the past few weeks is drafted and presented a proposal to increase the resourcing for the ORES project in the 2017 Fiscal Year. Currently, we're just one fully funded staff member (halfak) and partially funded contractor (Amir1) working with a bunch of volunteers. We're proposing to staff the team with fulltime engineers, a liaison and a tech writer. See a full draft of our proposal and pitch deck here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Scoring_Platform_team *New development:* We've expanded support for our "editquality" models to more wikis and improved the performance of some of the models. - We scaled up the number of observations for Indonesian Wikipedia to 100k[1] - We added language support for Romanian[2] and built the basic "reverted" model[3] - We trained and tested "damaging" and "goodfaith" models for Czech Wikipedia[4] - We implemented some params in our training utilites to control memory usage[5] - We deployed all of the above to Wikimedia Labs[6]. A production deployment is coming soon. Prompted by the 2016 community wishlist[7], we've implemented a "draftquality" model for evaluating new page creations. - We researched deletion reasons on English Wikipedia[8] and created a labeled dataset using the deletion log. - We engineered a set of features to predict the quality of new articles[9] and built a model[10] - We generated a set of datasets[11,12,13] to make it easier for volunteers and external researchers to help us audit the performance of the model. - We deployed the model on WMFLabs[14] and announced it's presence to a few interested patrollers in English Wikipedia - We've started the process of deploying the model in production[15,16] We completed a project exploring the use of advance natural-language processing strategies to extract new signal about vandalism, article quality and problematic new articles. Regretfully, memory issues prevent us from trivially putting this into production[17], so we're looking into alternative strategies[18]. - We implemented a strategy for extracting sentence from Wikitext[19] - We built sentence banks for personal attacks[20, vandalism[21], spam[22], and Featured Articles[23]. - We built PCFG-based models[24] and analyzed their ability to differentiate[25] We've been working with the Collaboration Team[26] on their Edit Review Improvments project[27] - We defined and implemented a set of new precision-based test statistics that will inform thresholds used in their new user interface[28] - But we also decided to continue to report recall-based test statistics as well[29] Based on advice from engineers on the Collaboration Team, we've begun the process of converting Wiki labels[30] to a stand-alone tool in labs. - We generalize the gadget interface so that it can handle all langauges/wikis[31] - We implemented a means to auto-configure wikis based on the dbname[32,33] and that allowed us to simplify configuration[34] - We also implemented some performance improvements with minification, bundling[35] *Labeling:* In the past few weeks, we've set up labeling campaigns for a few wikis. - We deployed an edit types campaign for Catalan Wikipedia[36] - We deployed an edit quality campagin for Chinese[37] and Romanian[38] Wikipedias - We deployed a new type of campaign for English Wikipedia -- "discussion quality" asks editors to label talk posts as "toxic" or not[39] *Maintenance and robustness:* We've solved a large set of problems with logging issues, compatibility with wikibase, and we've made minor improvements to performance. - We addressed a few bugs in the ORES Review Tool[40,44] - We quieted some errors from our logging in ORES[41,45] - We updated our code to work with a wikibase schema change[42] - We fixed a language fallback pattern in Wiki labels[43] - We set up monitoring on ORES database disk sizes[46] - We fixed some issues with scap, phabricator's diffusion and other supporting systems so that we can continue deploying to beta labs[47] - We split our assets repo so that we can let our WMFLabs deploy get ahead of the Production deployment[48] - ORES can now minify its JSON responses[49] - We identified a bug in flask-assets and worked around it in our local installation of Wiki labels[50] *Communications and outreach:* We had a big presence at the Wikimedia Developer summit, we've drafted a resourcing proposal, and we've made some announcements about upcoming plans for the ORES Review tool. - We facilitated the "Artificial Intelligence to build and navigate content" track[51] - We ran a session for building an AI wishlist[52] and captured notes about more than 20 new AI proposals on a new tag in phabricator[53] - We also ran a session discussion the ethics and dangers of advanced algorithms mediating our processes[54] - We helped facilitate a session about where to surface current AIs in Wikimedia Projects[55] - We held a discussion with Legal about licensing labeled data that comes out of Wiki labels[56] and updated the interface to state the CC0 license clearly[57] - We worked with the Reading Infrastructure team to analyze the consumption of "oresscores" through the MediaWiki API[58] - We drafted a pitch for increasing the resources for our team[59] - We worked with the Collaboration team to announce that they'll experimenting with a new RecentChanged filtering strategy in the ORES Review Tool[60,61] 1. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T147107 -- Scale up the number of observations for idwiki to 100k 2. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152482 -- Add language support for Romanian 3. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156504 -- Build reverted model for Romanian Wikipedia 4. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156492 -- Train and test damaging/goodfaith models for Czech Wikipedia 5. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156645 -- Add '--workers' param to cv_train utility 6. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154856 -- Clean up dependencies and deploy newest ORES & Models in labs 7. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/M… 8. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Automated_classification_of_draft_… 9. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148580 -- Build feature set for draft quality model 10. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148038 -- [Epic] Build draft quality model (spam, vandalism, attack, or OK) 11. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148581 -- Extract features for deleted page (draft quality model) 12. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T156642 -- Generate scored dataset for 2016-08 -

by Aaron Halfaker 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

I just found this talk by the Wikimedia Legal interns from July of 2016. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y_4HCtxvtw The Wikimedia legal interns will be hosting a panel titled "Artificial > Intelligence and the Law." The discussion (lasting about an hour) will > focus on the intersection of emerging technologies, like driverless cars, > web crawlers, and lethal autonomous weapons, and the legal issues they > raise, including in the areas of employment and liability. The panel > speakers will explore the legal challenges presented by emerging > technologies and artificial intelligence and how the legal industry has > responded to those challenges. -Aaron

Fwd: [Labs-l] [Labs-announce] Tools DB / Labs Postgres DB maintenance on 15 Feb 2017

Hey everyone, This mean wikilables will be down during that time. Best ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Yuvi Panda <yuvipanda(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Feb 6, 2017 at 9:28 AM Subject: [Labs-l] [Labs-announce] Tools DB / Labs Postgres DB maintenance on 15 Feb 2017 To: <labs-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello! Tools DB and Labs Postgres DB will be undergoing maintenance on 15 Feb 2017 for about 6 hours starting at 1700 UTC and will be unreachable for some of the duration. Most users shouldn't experience issues if their code reconnects properly when the server stops accepting connections (we'll failover to slaves when doing maintenance). Some tables will not be available for a short period of time, but the tool owners of those tables have already been notified (see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127164 ). We'll try to minimize downtime as much as possible. We will be upgrading the operating system from Ubuntu Precise to Debian Jessie in preparation for EOL of Ubuntu Precise (in April 2017). We'll also take this opportunity to upgrade Tools DB to Mariadb 10. All data should be preserved in this migration. Follow https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123731 for more information!
