Anytime.
> I'm a bit confused with this, I supposed that the Wikimedia Foundation Research Award was an initiative from the Research team of the WMF (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research), but I read in your answer that "WikiResearch is primarily in English and about research published in English". I understand that the main working language of the WMF is English, as this mailing list is, but I would assume that an Award promoted by the WMF should be multilingual.
Sorry. Let me clarify. What I was referring to when I used
WikiResearch in my email was the WikiResearch twitter account:
https://twitter.com/WikiResearch . I did not intend to refer to the
WMF Research team or Wikimedia Research community. And to repeat: this
is one source we use to find research done on the Wikimedia projects.
There are other sources as I mentioned in my response.
> Me, as a Basque Wikimedians User Group member, I promote Wikimedia activities in Basque language, because that is our goal. But the WMF is not the English Wikimedians User Group, as far as I understand. Our designated lingua franca may be English, but the WMF can't exclude research that is not made in this language from an Award. I would understand if the (non-existing) English Wikimedians User Group created the "EWUG Research in English Award of the Year", but is not the case.
I understand and acknowledge your point about inclusion. I hope some
of the points I shared about our existing process in my other email
can help you find possible solutions we can consider doing. :) On my
end: I have a todo to come back to you all.
Best,
Leila

Hi all,
Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours this Tuesday, 2022-01-11, at 12:00-13:00 UTC (4:00 PT / 7:00
ET / 13:00 CET). View your local time here
<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1641902452>. Please note the time change!
We are experimenting with our Office hours schedules to make our sessions
more globally welcoming.
To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3]. You are welcome to add questions / items to the etherpad in advance,
or when you arrive at the session. Even if you are unable to attend the
session, you can leave a question that we can address asynchronously. If
you do not have a specific agenda item, you are welcome to hang out and
enjoy the conversation. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].
Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer research related questions that you as Wikimedia volunteer editors,
organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in your projects and
initiatives. Here are some example cases we hope to be able to support you
with:
-
You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
in my wiki?
-
You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
harder to find an answer for during an office hour. However, discussing
them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
-
You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
of you interested more closely in this space.
-
You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].
Hope to see many of you,

Hi!
I just published the first version of a Go package which provides
utilities for processing
Wikidata entities JSON dumps and Wikimedia Enterprise HTML dumps. It
processes them in parallel on multiple cores, so processing is rather
fast. I hope it will be useful to others, too.

Hi all,
We're really excited to announce the launch of the Wikimedia Research
Fund with the goal of diversifying the network of Wikimedia
researchers globally and supporting the Wikimedia Movement in deeper
understanding of the projects, decision making, and building new
technologies.
If you are a Wikimedia researcher or you are interested in becoming
one, you can apply for research funds (USD 2k-50K) until January 3,
2022. While all research proposals related to Wikimedia projects are
welcome, we particularly encourage studies on medium to small size
languages and communities, as well as in low resourced languages and
projects. You can even propose to repeat a past study in a given
language in another language!
More info at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Programs/Wikimedia_Research_%26_Tech…
.
Apply by January 3, 2022 and/or spread the word!
Big thanks to Emily Lescak for all her behind-the-scenes work to make
the launch of the Research Fund possible, and to the Community
Resources team at the Wikimedia Foundation for giving us the
opportunity and the funds.
If you have questions, please reach out to us at
research_fund(a)wikimedia.org, meta [1], here, or in one of our
upcoming office hours [2]! :)

Hello all,
The next Wikimedia Research Showcase will be held Wednesday, December 15 at
17:30 UTC (9:30 PT / 12:30 ET / 18:30 CET).
You can view the livestream here: https://youtu.be/HKODaHgmQWw
<https://www.google.com/url?q=https://youtu.be/HKODaHgmQWw&sa=D&source=calen…>
The Showcase will feature the following talks:
*Latin American Youth and their Information Ecosystem: Finding, Evaluation,
Creating, and Sharing Content Online*
The increased importance the Internet plays as a core source of information
in youth's lives, now underscored by the pandemic, gives new urgency to the
need to better understand young people’s information habits and attitudes.
Answers to questions like where young people go to look for information,
what information they decide to trust and how they share the information
they find, hold important implications for the knowledge they obtain, the
beliefs they form and the actions they take in areas ranging from personal
health, professional employment or their educational training.
In this research showcase, we will be summarizing insights from focus group
interviews in Latin America that offer a window into the experiences of
young people themselves. Taken together, these perspectives might help us
to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how young people in Latin
America use the Internet in general and interact with information from
online sources in particular.
Speakers: Lionel Brossi and Ana María Castillo. Artificial Intelligence and
Society Hub at University of Chile.

Characterizing the Online Learning Landscape: What and How People Learn
Online
Hundreds of millions of people learn something new online every day.
Simultaneously, the study of online education has blossomed with new
systems, experiments, and observations creating and exploring previously
undiscovered online learning environments. In this talk I will discuss our
study, in which we endeavor to characterize this entire landscape of online
learning experiences using a national survey of 2260 US adults who are
balanced to match the demographics of the U.S. We examine the online
learning resources that they consult, and we analyze the subjects that they
pursue using those resources. Furthermore, we compare both formal and
informal online learning experiences on a larger scale than has ever been
done before, to our knowledge, to better understand which subjects people
are seeking for intensive study. We find that there is a core set of online
learning experiences that are central to other experiences and these are
shared among the majority of people who learn online.

Hello all,
The next Wikimedia Research Showcase will be on Wednesday, November 17, at
17:30 UTC (9:30am PST/12:30pm EST/ 18:30 CET). The topic is content
moderation.
Livestream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx3xesDkp2o
*Amy S. Bruckman (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA)Is Deplatforming
Censorship? What happened when controversial figures were deplatformed,
with philosophical musings on the nature of free speech*
Abstract: When a controversial figure is deplatformed, what happens to
their online influence? In this talk, first, I’ll present results from a
study of the deplatforming from Twitter of three figures who repeatedly
broke platform rules (Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Owen Benjamin).
Second, I’ll discuss what happened when this study was on the front page of
Reddit, and the range of angry reactions from people who say that they’re
in favor of “free speech.” I’ll explore the nature of free speech, and why
our current speech regulation framework is fundamentally broken. Finally,
I’ll conclude with thoughts on the strength of Wikipedia’s model in
contrast to other platforms, and highlight opportunities for improvement.
*Nathan TeBlunthuis (University of Washington / Northwestern University,
USA)Effects of Algorithmic Flagging on Fairness. Quasi-experimental
Evidence from Wikipedia*
Abstract: Online community moderators often rely on social signals such as
whether or not a user has an account or a profile page as clues that users
may cause problems. Reliance on these clues can lead to "overprofiling bias
when moderators focus on these signals but overlook the misbehavior of
others. We propose that algorithmic flagging systems deployed to improve
the efficiency of moderation work can also make moderation actions more
fair to these users by reducing reliance on social signals and making norm
violations by everyone else more visible. We analyze moderator behavior in
Wikipedia as mediated by RCFilters, a system which displays social signals
and algorithmic flags, and estimate the causal effect of being flagged on
moderator actions. We show that algorithmically flagged edits are reverted
more often, especially those by established editors with positive social
signals, and that flagging decreases the likelihood that moderation actions
will be undone. Our results suggest that algorithmic flagging systems can
lead to increased fairness in some contexts but that the relationship is
complex and contingent.

+++ Apologies for cross-postings +++
The Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) is inviting applications from qualified and highly motivated students for a Summer Research Visit in the Lab of Digital and Computational Demography<http://demogr.mpg.de/en/laboratories/digital_and_computational_demography_5…>.
The goal of the Population and Social Data Science Summer Incubator Program is to enable discovery by bringing together data scientists and population scientists to work on focused, intensive and collaborative projects of broad societal relevance.
For a period of 3 months (June 1st - August 30th, 2022), participating students will work in small teams, with support from experienced mentors, towards a common research goal. For the Summer of 2022, the Incubator will be coordinated by Rumi Chunara (New York University and Max Planck Sabbatical Awardee), Emilio Zagheni, and Ugofilippo Basellini. This Summer, the focus of the program will be on risk prediction models, including concepts spanning demography, fragility, and social vulnerabilities.
Participating students will be exposed to best practices across social and data sciences while contributing to a hands-on project experience. All participants will also have access to lectures and participate in other scientific activities happening at MPIDR.
Applicants must be enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program (at the time they visit MPIDR). The Incubator program values research teams that include early-career scientists from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, with complementary skill sets. Priority will be placed on bringing together a diverse pool of students. The total number of attendees will be defined based on resources and quality of applications. A number of mentors (with an approximate ratio of 3 students:1 mentor) will be solicited from MPIDR, NYU and other collaborators. The mentors, along with summer program coordinators, will provide seed project and data ideas, with flexibility for students to put forward their own ideas as well.
Successful candidates will have demonstrated ability to work on research projects independently and in interdisciplinary teams, and interest in research problems related to both data science and social sciences, broadly defined.
Applications must be submitted online via https://www.demogr.mpg.de/go/incubator and include the following documents:
1. Curriculum Vitae
2. Cover letter (Max 2 page)
- Please state why you are interested in spending the Summer at MPIDR, and in which ways you would benefit from participating in the Incubator program.
- Please articulate your research interests and briefly describe a project you have worked on, the motivation for it and your contribution.
- Please describe your technical skills, as well what you would like to learn over the course of the Summer visit.
1. Names and contact information for 2 academic references
In order to receive full consideration, applications should be received by January 15th 2022. Notifications will be sent out by March 1, 2022. This will be an in-person Summer program, and students will be expected to be in residence at MPIDR in Rostock for the period of the research visit, from June 1st- August 30th. Participants will be expected to devote most of their working time to the collaborative research project during that period. A hybrid approach will be considered in cases where travel is not possible due to extenuating circumstances. Selected students enrolled in a PhD program will be offered reimbursement for travel costs to/from Rostock, and a stipend. Selected students who are not enrolled in a PhD program will be offered reimbursement for travel costs to/from Rostock, a per diem, and lodging in Rostock.
For administrative questions please get in touch with Beatrice Michaelis (michaelis(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:michaelis@demogr.mpg.de>). For scientific questions please contact Emilio Zagheni (Zagheni(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:Zagheni@demogr.mpg.de>), Ugofilippo Basellini (basellini(a)demogr.mpg.de<mailto:basellini@demogr.mpg.de>) or Rumi Chunara (rumi.chunara(a)nyu.edu<mailto:rumi.chunara@nyu.edu>).
Our Institute values diversity and is keen to employ individuals from minorities.
The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals. Furthermore, the Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.
