Call for Survey Participants - Wikimedia-Engaged Academic Researchers and Scientists
Survey Link: https://iup.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0wfRHBdZmtbEuW2
Despite the growing interest in open educational resources in higher education, relatively few academics and scientists have significantly committed to sharing their research expertise in open knowledge projects. In fact, they often face opportunity costs when engaging with platforms like Wikipedia, as the time spent contributing can detract from more traditional scholarly outputs, such as peer-reviewed publications, conferences, and pursuing grants. This research project invites Wikimedia-engaged academics, scientists, and researchers to help us better understand how to make Wikimedia contributions “count” for academic researchers.
To that end, we'll be surveying and interviewing academic researchers and scientists who have previously engaged Wikimedia projects in an effort to discover the most suitable metrics and models for our project, as well as to develop a broad network of like-minded individuals interested in discovering how Wikimedia provides a platform for a broad open science infrastructure.
Taking the survey will take approximately 10 minutes of your time. If you agree to participate in an interview as part of the survey, this will be conducted via Zoom and take approximately 30-45 minutes of your time.

This month's presentations:
The Promise and Pitfalls of AI Technology in Bridging Digital Language
DivideBy *Kai Zhu, Bocconi University*Machine translation technologies have
the potential to bridge knowledge gaps across languages, promoting more
inclusive access to information regardless of native languages. This study
examines the impact of integrating Google Translate into Wikipedia's
Content Translation system in January 2019. Employing a natural experiment
design and difference-in-differences strategy, we analyze how this
translation technology shock influenced the dynamics of content production
and accessibility on Wikipedia across over a hundred languages. We find
that this technology integration leads to a 149% increase in content
production through translation, driven by existing editors becoming more
productive as well as an expansion of the editor base. Moreover, we observe
that machine translation enhances the propagation of biographical and
geographical information, helping to close these knowledge gaps in the
multilingual context. However, our findings also underscore the need for
continued efforts to mitigate the preexisting systemic barriers. Our study
contributes to our knowledge on the evolving role of artificial
intelligence in shaping knowledge dissemination through enhanced language
translation capabilities.Implications of Using Inorganic Content in Arabic
Wikipedia EditionsBy *Saied Alshahrani and Jeanna Matthews, Clarkson
University*Wikipedia articles (content pages) are one of the widely
utilized training corpora for NLP tasks and systems, yet these articles are
not always created, generated, or even edited organically by native
speakers; some are automatically created, generated, or translated using
Wikipedia bots or off-the-shelf translation tools like Google Translate
without human revision or supervision. We first analyzed the three Arabic
Wikipedia editions, Arabic (AR), Egyptian Arabic (ARZ), and Moroccan Arabic
(ARY), and found that these Arabic Wikipedia editions suffer from a few
serious issues, like large-scale automatic creations and translations from
English to Arabic, all without human involvement, generating content
(articles) that lack not only linguistic richness and diversity but also
content that lacks cultural richness and meaningful representation of the
Arabic language and its native speakers. We second studied the performance
implications of using such inorganic, unrepresentative articles to train
NLP tasks or systems, where we intrinsically evaluated the performance of
two main NLP upstream tasks, namely word representation and language
modeling, using word analogy and fill-mask evaluations. We found that most
of the models trained on the organic and representative content
outperformed or, at worst, performed on par with the models trained with
inorganic content generated using bots or translated using templates
included, demonstrating that training on unrepresentative content not only
impacts the representation of native speakers but also impacts the
performance of NLP tasks or systems. We recommend avoiding utilizing the
automatically created, generated, or translated articles on Wikipedia when
the task is a representation-based task, like measuring opinions,
sentiments, or perspectives of native speakers, and also suggest that when
registered users employ automated creation or translation, their
contributions should be marked differently than “registered user” for
better transparency; perhaps “registered user (automation-assisted)”.

Dear fellow Wikimedians and Academics:
My collaborators and I (Matthew Vetter, Sage Ross, Iolanda Pensa) and I
(Brett Buttliere), are interested in encouraging academic contributions to
Wikimedia, and even ideally making Wikipedia an interface between
scientific knowledge and the public, and counting for grant and tenure
outcomes. You can read about this idea and work here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Developing_Wikimedia_Impact_Metric…>,
which also aims to e.g., further secure Wikimedia's space in the open
knowledge/ science space.
The point of this email is to call for collaborators in this endeavor,
especially in relation to a EU COST action
<https://www.cost.eu/cost-actions/what-are-cost-actions/>, which aims to
build networks for developing larger grants in the future. *We search
ultimately for representatives from at least 7 (Euro-area) nations*, with
at least 50% of the nations coming from the list below. We think Wikimedia
is uniquely positioned to succeed here.
Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary,
Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia
French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mayotte, Reunion Island and
Saint-Martin (France), Azores and Madeira (Portugal), and the Canary
Islands (Spain) Albania, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova,

HOPE TO SEE YOU AT MathUI'24!
Hello wiki-research community!
I'm sharing a call-for-papers for a workshop that I'm helping to organize
at EMNLP 2024 <https://2024.emnlp.org/> that will be focused on celebrating
Wikimedia's contributions to the NLP community and highlighting approaches
to ensuring the sustainability of this relationship for years to come. Our
website for the workshop is on Meta (and I've copied the relevant content
below as well):
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/NLP_for_Wikipedia_(EMNLP_2024)
The workshop will be hybrid (virtual and in-person components). We have not
been assigned a date yet but it will either be November 15th or 16th. To
get a sense of potential costs, you can see last year's EMNLP conference
registration: https://2023.emnlp.org/registration/#virtual-pricing
== Overview ==
Co-located with the EMNLP 2024 (The 2024 Conference on Empirical Methods in
Natural Language Processing)
Date: 15. or 16. November 2024 (TBA)
In Miami, Florida (hybrid event)
The workshop will be a hybrid event, i.e., we aim to facilitate online
participation.
== Important Dates ==
Papers due: Thursday, *29. August 2024 *
Notification of accepted papers: Friday, 27. September 2024
Camera-ready papers due: Friday, 4. October 2024
Workshop date: 15. or 16. November 2024 (TBA)
All deadlines are midnight anywhere on earth (AOE).
== Overview ==
Wikipedia is a uniquely important resource for the NLP community; it is
multilingual, can be freely reused under its open license, and is edited
and maintained by a dedicated community of editors who have earned its
status as a very high-quality dataset for many applications. With this
value comes many tensions however: despite Wikipedia's presence in over 300
language editions, much focus in language modeling remains on the
high-resource languages; despite the openness of Wikipedia and its role in
many advances in natural language modeling, there are concerns that some of
these advances such as generative text models could undermine Wikipedia and
threaten its sustainability as a community and ultimately data resource;
despite the heavy usage of Wikimedia data among the NLP community, few
researchers work on developing tools that can contribute back to the
Wikimedia community.
The goal of this workshop is both to celebrate Wikimedia's contributions to
the NLP community and highlight approaches to ensuring the sustainability
of this relationship for years to come. We will invite researchers to
contribute novel uses of Wikimedia data or studies of the impact of
Wikimedia data within the NLP community. We will also discuss successful
approaches to developing tooling that can assist the Wikimedia community in
maintaining and improving the breadth of the Wikimedia projects.
== Topics ==
We invite contributions on a wide range of topics related to NLP and
Wikipedia, including but not limited to:
* Wikipedia text analysis and understanding
* Text generation and summarization for Wikipedia articles
* Multilingual and cross-lingual approaches for Wikipedia content
* Quality assessment and vandalism detection in Wikipedia
* Recommendation systems for Wikipedia content
* Semantic enrichment and entity linking in Wikipedia
* Applications of NLP for structured data in Wikimedia projects
* Misinformation detection for Wikipedia
* Ethical considerations and biases in NLP for Wikipedia
* Impact of LLMs on Wikipedia's communities
* Human-AI collaboration for improving Wikipedia content
* Benchmark datasets and evaluation metrics
* Knowledge-intensive NLP over Wikipedia content
We also encourage papers that include the creation of new datasets relevant
to NLP tasks to support the Wikimedia communities. For example:
* References across languages by topic
* Edit summaries and associated diffs
* Talk page discussions and outcomes
* Edits that inserted new facts along with the text from the supporting
reference
While we encourage use of Wikipedia content, NLP work from other Wikimedia
platforms such as Wikisource or Wikidata labels is also welcome. If you
have questions about potential research ideas or existing resources in a
given topical area, feel free to reach out to the workshop organizers at
nlp4wikipedia(a)googlegroups.com and we will do our best to help out.
== Submission Guidelines ==

Third Call for Papers
Third Workshop on Formal Verification of Physical Systems (FVPS-2024)
August 5, 2024
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Hybrid Mode
Co-located with CICM 2024
https://cicm-conference.org/2024/cicm.php?event=fvps&menu=general
================================================================================
Theme
=====
One of the main issues behind many failing systems is the ad-hoc verification
approach that involves a variety of formalism and techniques for the modeling
and analysis of various components of the present-age (cyber)-physical
systems. For example, control and communication protocols are usually modelled
using automata theory, and thus analyzed using model checking techniques, while
the modeling of physical aspects often requires multivariate calculus
foundations, which are in turn analyzed using paper-and-pencil based analytical
proofs, simulation or theorem proving. The fundamental differences between these
modeling and analysis techniques limit us to analyze the whole system as one
unit and thus miss many corner cases, which arise due to the operation of all
the sub-components of the system together. One of the major concerns is that,
despite the above-mentioned evident limitations in the analysis methods, many
safety-critical systems, such as aerospace, smart-transportation, smart-grid and
e-healthcare, are increasingly involving physical elements. Moreover, we are
moving towards integrating more complex physical elements in our engineering
systems. For example, we are looking into developing Quantum Computers to meet
high performance needs. Similarly, photonic components are increasingly being
advocated and used in aerospace applications due to their lightweight and
temperature independency compared to traditional electronics based
components. Finally, the impact of physical components is relevant to both
safety and security of the overall system. For example, malfunction in sensor
measurement may lead to safety issues whereas sophisticated physics based
side-channel (e.g., power and acoustic measurements) attacks lead to the
security violation of the underlying system.
The focus of the workshop will be on formal verification techniques and for the
modeling, analysis and verification of safety and security critical physical
systems. We encourage submissions on interdisciplinary approaches that bring
together formal methods and techniques from other knowledge areas such as
quantum computing, control theory, biology, optimization theory and artificial
intelligence.

Hi everyone,
I hope you are doing great! I just finished my master's degree and would
like to share my thesis about digitally-disadvantaged languages. I
interviewed some Wikimedians as well, so I believe it will be useful to
learn about this issue that generally connects with Wikimedia projects.
You can download the thesis here
