Hey folks,
This is a little overdue, but I wanted to work with comms to craft a blog
post that would help us do a bit of outreach around the announcement of the
team. That just went live.

Friends,
This is a Scoring Platform technical update for the last couple of weeks of
work.
*Deployments*
We completed a biweekly deployment today, adding models for quite a few new
wikis. Congratulations, and a big thank you to everyone who helped us
coordinate and gather the data to accomplish this!
Epic: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170485
*New models*
- Albanian Wikipedia: new models for reverted, damaging, and goodfaith.
- Bengali Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Greek Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Tamil Wikipedia: new model for reverted.
- Romanian Wikipedia: new models for damaging and goodfaith.
- Turkish Wikipedia: fixes to the article quality model ("wp10") (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170838 )
*Service updates*
- Switched precaching from RCStream (deprecated) to new EventStreams,
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166046
- Better error handling for bad API params,
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168920
- Patched a DoS caused by a combination of bad regex and inadequate
timeout code. Incident:

Note that Albanian and Romanian Wikipedias will soon support ORES in their
Recent Changes feeds. Subscribe to
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170723 for updates.

Adam
Hey folks!
I just posted a new update to the blog. This update covers roughly the
last month.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/58/status_update_july_11t…
As of July 1st, we are officially the Scoring Platform team. We're
welcoming Adam Wight to the team officially. There will be a nice
announcement that we'll post to the Wikimedia Blog in a few days.
The last ~month was very productive, but we had two major production
issues[1,2]. As you will see in the blog post, there's a series of tasks
that address problems that were related to these issues.
Despite dealing with production issues, we've been able to get a very
substantial change to the revscoring library merged. This change will make
accessing information about models (build environment, test statistics,
scoring thresholds, etc.) much easier. This will cause a breaking change in
ORES UI so we'll be making an announcement when we roll it out. Stay tuned.
We've also increased our language and model coverage substantially. We even
built and deployed a totally new type of model to help out French
Wikisource!
See the post for more details :)

Subject: [Wiki-research-l] trip report: AI for Good Summit 2017
To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities <
wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
I recently attended AI for Good Summit in Geneva, Switzerland and have
written an informal trip report that will give you pointers to the
program, recorded sessions, photos taken, and interviews that happened
during the summit. I also shared a few other observations about the
summit. You can find the report at

.
Best,
Leila
