[Feel free to blame me if you read this more than once]
To whom it may interest,
Full of delight, I would like to announce the first beta release of
*StrepHit*:
https://github.com/Wikidata/StrepHit
TL;DR: StrepHit is an intelligent reading agent that understands text
and translates it into *referenced* Wikidata statements.
It is a IEG project funded by the Wikimedia Foundation.
Key features:
-Web spiders to harvest a collection of documents (corpus) from reliable
sources
-automatic corpus analysis to understand the most meaningful verbs
-sentences and semi-structured data extraction
-train a machine learning classifier via crowdsourcing
-*supervised and rule-based fact extraction from text*
-Natural Language Processing utilities
-parallel processing
You can find all the details here:

If you like it, star it on GitHub!
Best,
Marco
People are now working to conclude the "Code of Conduct/Cases" part of
the draft Code of Conduct:
* Section:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Draft#Page:_Code_of_Conduct.…
* Talk:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft
* Alternatively, you can provide anonymous feedback to
conduct-discussion at wikimedia.org .
This is the best time to make any final necessary changes to this
section (and explain why, in edit summaries and/or talk) and discuss it
on the talk page.
After this last call, I will send out another email seeking approval,
like before.
Thanks,
Matt Flaschen
Hi folks,
Related to discussions that some of us have had previously about (1)
developing training for Wikipedia administrators, (2) increasing the
community's capacity to address incivility and harassment, and (3)
improving community health, I've proposed
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Training_for_administrators
as a part of the current Inspire campaign.
This project could become an extension of my current video project, or it
might be handled completely independently by a different project leader.
Regardless of who eventually leads the project, I would appreciate your
comments about the proposal, whether positive, negative, or indifferent.
Please discuss on the IdeaLab pages. (:
Thanks!
Pine
