Fwd: [Analytics] February 15, 2017 Research Showcase
by Pine W 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

The first presentation mentioned below may be of interest to OSM folks, as well as Wikimedia maps people. These talks are presented by the Wikimedia Foundation and are live-streamed. Pine ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sarah R <srodlund(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 2:49 PM Subject: [Analytics] February 15, 2017 Research Showcase To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org, analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org, wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hi Everyone, The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed this February 15, 2017 at 11:30 AM (PST) 18:30 UTC. YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6smzMppb-I As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. And, you can watch our past research showcases here <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#February_2017>. This month's presentations: Wikipedia and the Urban-Rural DivideBy *Isaac Johnson*Wikipedia articles about places, OpenStreetMap features, and other forms of peer-produced content have become critical sources of geographic knowledge for humans and intelligent technologies. We explore the effectiveness of the peer production model across the rural/urban divide, a divide that has been shown to be an important factor in many online social systems. We find that in Wikipedia (as well as OpenStreetMap), peer-produced content about rural areas is of systematically lower quality, less likely to have been produced by contributors who focus on the local area, and more likely to have been generated by automated software agents (i.e. “bots”). We continue to explore and codify the systemic challenges inherent to characterizing rural phenomena through peer production as well as discuss potential solutions. Wikipedia Navigation VectorsBy *Ellery Wulczyn <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Ewulczyn_(WMF)>*In this project, we learned embeddings for Wikipedia articles and Wikidata <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page> items by applying Word2vec <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word2vec> models to a corpus of reading sessions. Although Word2vec models were developed to learn word embeddings from a corpus of sentences, they can be applied to any kind of sequential data. The learned embeddings have the property that items with similar neighbors in the training corpus have similar representations (as measured by the cosine similarity <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosine_similarity>, for example). Consequently, applying Wor2vec to reading sessions results in article embeddings, where articles that tend to be read in close succession have similar representations. Since people usually generate sequences of semantically related articles while reading, these embeddings also capture semantic similarity between articles. -- Sarah R.

Correction on Structured Data on Commons project
by Katie Horn 23 Dec '16

23 Dec '16

Hello all, Yesterday, an announcement (Now live: Shared structured data), incorrectly stated that Structured Data had been launched on Commons. The feature which was inaccurately named “Structured Data”, enables users to add tabular data to the data namespace on Commons via the regular page editor and to further display and/or visualize that data from other wikis. This work is unrelated to an ongoing project called Structured Data on Commons. For more on the newly launched feature, see the Tabular Data [1] and Map Data [2] help pages on MediaWiki.org. For information on the Structured Data on Commons project, designed to associate structured data with media files on Commons to improve their discoverability, please visit the project page on Commons. [3] Thank you, -Katie [1] - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tabular_Data [2] - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Map_Data [3] - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data

Now live: Shared structured data
by Yuri Astrakhan 23 Dec '16

Gift season! We have launched structured data on Commons, available from all wikis. TLDR; One data store. Use everywhere. Upload table data to Commons, with localization, and use it to create wiki tables, lists, or use directly in graphs. Works for GeoJSON maps too. Must be licensed as CC0. Try this per-state GDP map demo, and select multiple years. More demos at the bottom. US Map state highlight <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Graph:US_Map_state_highlight> Data can now be stored as *.tab and *.map pages in the data namespace on Commons. That data may contain localization, so a table cell could be in multiple languages. And that data is accessible from any wikis, by Lua scripts, Graphs, and Maps. Lua lets you generate wiki tables from the data by filtering, converting, mixing, and formatting the raw data. Lua also lets you generate lists. Or any wiki markup. Graphs can use both .tab and .map directly to visualize the data and let users interact with it. The GDP demo above uses a map from Commons, and colors each segment with the data based on a data table. Kartographer (<maplink>/<mapframe>) can use the .map data as an extra layer on top of the base map. This way we can show endangered species' habitat. == Demo == * Raw data example <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:Weather/New_York_City.tab> * Interactive Weather data <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Graph:Weather_monthly_history> * Same data in Weather template <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Yurik/WeatherDemo> * Interactive GDP map <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Graph:US_Map_state_highlight> * Endangered Jemez Mountains salamander - habitat <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jemez_Mountains_salamander#/maplink/0> * Population history <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Graph:Population_history> * Line chart <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Graph:Lines> == Getting started == * Try creating a page at data:Sandbox/<user>.tab on Commons. Don't forget the .tab extension, or it won't work. * Try using some data with the Line chart graph template A thorough guide is needed, help is welcome! == Documentation links == * Tabular help <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tabular_Data> * Map help <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Map_Data> If you find a bug, create Phabricator ticket with #tabular-data tag, or comment on the documentation talk pages. == FAQ == * Relation to Wikidata: Wikidata is about "facts" (small pieces of information). Structured data is about "blobs" - large amounts of data like the historical weather or the outline of the state of New York. == TODOs == * Add a nice "table editor" - editing JSON by hand is cruel. T134618 * "What links here" should track data usage across wikis. Will allow quicker auto-refresh of the pages too. T153966 * Support data redirects. T153598 * Mega epic: Support external data feeds.

Re: [Maps-l] [discovery] [Wikitech-l] Now live: Shared structured data

Svetlana, thanks for suggestion. I think we should create a portal similar to the Structured Data one, and put some examples there. Deciding on the name is difficult :) "Commons Datasets" does sound good. There has been a very prolonged discussion on where to host this feature - https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Yurik/Storing_data. Wikidata would have been a good choice, but users expect all the data there to be in public domain, and we may add more licensing choices later. > An inline example with English commentary -- straight on the first page about this new technology without making users click links -- could be nice. The text you typed up does not seem to be on a wiki page, so I am unable to edit it... Which page are you referring to?

Yes, there seem to have been a bit of a naming collision. Tabular data and map data have been jointly known as structured data, but there is also the Structured Data project, which IMO should be called Structured Metadata project :) Naming suggestions are welcome! P.S. Brad, I'm sorry tabular and map data did not excite you :( On Thu, Dec 22, 2016 at 2:38 PM Brad Jorsch (Anomie) <bjorsch(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: > On Thu, Dec 22, 2016 at 2:30 PM, Yuri Astrakhan <yastrakhan(a)wikimedia.org> > wrote: > > > Gift season!
