Annoucing WikiConv dataset
by Yiqing Hua 21 Jan '19

21 Jan '19

Hi all, We’re thrilled to announce the release of WikiConv—a multilingual corpus reconstructing the complete conversational history of multiple Wikipedia language editions <https://github.com/conversationai/wikidetox/tree/master/wikiconv>. The corpus—a collaboration between Jigsaw, Cornell and Wikimedia foundation—includes over 100M individual conversation threads and 300M conversational actions extracted from the English, Chinese, German, Greek, and Russian Wikipedia talk pages. WikiConv can be used to understand and model conversational turns in online collaborative spaces, as we showed in an earlier study, predicting when conversations go awry <https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.05345>. The reconstruction methodology, as well as its possible applications, are described in a paper by Hua et al. recently presented at EMNLP 2018 <https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.13181>. You can also watch a video presentation of this work from the Wikimedia Research showcase <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase#June_2018> in June 2018. The corpus is released under CC0 (CC BY SA for individual comments). All the underlying code is available in this Github repository <https://github.com/conversationai/wikidetox/tree/master/wikiconv>. If you have any questions about the dataset, feel free to contact us at yiqing(a)cs.cornell.edu. Best, Yiqing

Vandalism
by Thomas Stieve 17 Jan '19

17 Jan '19

Dear Listserv, Hope all is well. I am mapping IP address edits per country for 271 language Wikipedias. I would like to exclude IP addresses that are vandalism. I was thinking of using the ipblocks table for the IP addresses to be excluded. Because this project is in so many different languages and my programming skills are intermediate, I would like to use the Wikipedia tables or registers that the Wikipedians in those language use to mark vandalism. If anyone has another idea, I would be most grateful. Perhaps I am missing a way that Wikipedians across languages are using to mark vandalism. Thank you, Tom -- Thomas Stieve Ph.D. Candidate School of Geography and Development University of Arizona

[Wikimedia Research Showcase] Wednesday, January 16 at 11:30 AM PST, 19:30 UTC

16 Jan '19

Hello, everyone, The next Research Showcase, *Understanding participation in Wikipedia*, will be live-streamed next Wednesday, January 16, at 11:30 AM PST/19:30 UTC. This presentation is about new editors. YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc51jE_KNTc As usual, you can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. You can also watch our past research showcases here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Showcase This month's presentation: *Understanding participation in Wikipedia: Studies on the relationship between new editors’ motivations and activity* By Martina Balestra, New York University Peer production communities like Wikipedia often struggle to retain contributors beyond their initial engagement. Theory suggests this may be related to their levels of motivation, though prior studies either center on contributors’ activity or use cross-sectional survey methods, and overlook accompanied changes in motivation. In this talk, I will present a series of studies aimed at filling this gap. We begin by looking at how Wikipedia editors’ early motivations influence the activities that they come to engage in, and how these motivations change over the first three months of participation in Wikipedia. We then look at the relationship between editing activity and intrinsic motivation specifically over time. We find that new editors’ early motivations are predictive of their future activity, but that these motivations tend to change with time. Moreover, newcomers’ intrinsic motivation is reinforced by the amount of activity they engage in over time: editors who had a high level of intrinsic motivation entered a virtuous cycle where the more they edited the more motivated they became, whereas those who initially had low intrinsic motivation entered a vicious cycle. Our findings shed new light on the importance of early experiences and reveal that the relationship between motivation and activity is more complex than previously understood. -- Janna Layton Administrative Assistant - Audiences & Technology Wikimedia Foundation <https://wikimediafoundation.org/>

[CFP] HumBL 2019 : Augmenting Intelligence with Bias-aware Humans-in-the-Loop @ TheWebConf 2019
by Ujwal Gadiraju 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hello! ### Apologies for Cross-Posting ### ------------------- IMPORTANT DATES -------------------- Abstract submission: 20 Jan 2019 Paper submission 1 Feb 2019 Author notification: 24 Feb 2019 Final version deadline: 3 Mar 2019 Workshop date: 13/14 May 2019 ------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------------- Human-in-the-loop is a model of interaction where a machine process and one or more humans have an iterative interaction. In this paradigm the user has the ability to heavily influence the outcome of the process by providing feedback to the system as well as the opportunity to grab different perspectives about the underlying domain and understand the step by step machine process leading to a certain outcome. Amongst the current major concerns in Artificial Intelligence research are being able to explain and understand the results as well as avoiding bias in the underlying data that might lead to unfair or unethical conclusions. Typically, computers are fast and accurate in processing vast amounts of data. People, however, are creative and bring in their perspectives and interpretation power. Bringing humans and machines together creates a natural symbiosis for accurate interpretation of data at scale. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in various areas of AI (i.e., Machine Learning, NLP, Computational Advertising, etc.) to explore new pathways of the human-in-the-loop paradigm. We aim to analyze both existing biases in crowdsourcing, and explore various methods to manage bias via crowdsourcing. We would like to discuss different types of biases, measures and methods to track bias, as well as methodologies to prevent and mitigate different types of bias. We will provide a framework for discussion among scholars, practitioners and other interested parties, including crowd workers, requesters and crowdsourcing platform managers. ------------------ RESEARCH TOPICS ---------------------- The old paradigm of computing - where machines do something for the humans - has changed: more and more humans and machines are working with and for each other, in a partnership. We can see the effectiveness of this paradigm in many areas, ranging from human computation (where humans do some of the computation in place of the machines), computer-supported cooperative work, social computing, computer-mediated communication to name a few. In this workshop we welcome novel work focusing on the partnership between humans and machines. Topic of interest include (but are not limited to): *Human Factors: **Human-computer cooperative work **Mobile crowdsourcing applications **Human Factors in Crowdsourcing **Social computing **Ethics of Crowdsourcing **Gamification techniques *Data Collection: **Data annotations task design **Data collection for specific domains (e.g. with privacy constraints) **Data privacy **Multi-linguality aspects *Machine Learning: **Dealing with sparse and noisy annotated data **Crowdsourcing for Active Learning **Statistics and learning theory *Applications: **Healthcare **NLP technologies **Translation **Data quality control **Sentiment analysis *Bias in Crowdsourcing: **Contributor and crowd worker sampling bias during the recruitment **Effect of cultural, gender and ethnic biases **Effect of worker training and past experiences **Effect of worker expertise vs interest **Bias in experts vs bias in crowdsourcing **Bias in outsourcing vs bias in crowdsourcing **Sources of bias in crowdsourcing: task selection, experience, devices, reward, etc. **Taxonomies and categorizations of different biases in crowdsourcing **Task assignment/recommendation for reducing bias **Effect of worker engagement on bias **Responsibility and ethics in crowdsourcing and bias management **Preventing bias in crowdsourcing **Creating awareness of cognitive biases among crowdsourcing agents *Crowdsourcing for Bias Management: **Identifying new types of cognitive bias in data or content using crowdsourcing **Measuring bias in data or content using crowdsourcing **Removing bias in data or content using crowdsourcing **Presenting bias information to end users to create awareness **Ethics of data collection for bias management **Dealing with algorithmic bias using crowdsourcing **Fake news detection with crowdsourcing **Diversification of sources by means of crowdsourcing **Provenance and traceability in crowdsourcing **Long-term crowd engagement **Generating benchmarks for bias management through crowdsourcing ------------------------- SUBMISSION --------------------- Authors can submit four types of papers: * short papers (up to 6 pages in length), plus unlimited pages for references * full papers (up to 10 pages in length), plus unlimited pages for references * position papers (up to 4 pages in length), plus unlimited pages for references * demo papers (up to 4 pages in length), plus unlimited pages for references Page limits include diagrams and appendices. Submissions should be formatted according to the formatting instructions in the General Guidelines. Submit papers through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=humblwww2019 All submissions must be written in English. Accepted papers will be published online via CEUR-WS. ----------------------- WORKSHOP CHAIRS ------------------ Lora Aroyo, Google, USA Alessandro Checco, University of Sheffield, UK Gianluca Demartini, University of Queensland, AU Ujwal Gadiraju, L3S Research Center, Leibniz Universitaet Hannover, DE Anna Lisa Gentile, IBM Research Almaden, US Oana Inel, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, NL Cristina Sarasua, University of Zurich, CH -- Dr. Ujwal Gadiraju L3S Research Center Leibniz Universität Hannover 30167 Hannover, Germany DE811245527 Phone: +49. 511. 762-5772 Fax: +49. 511. 762-19712 E-Mail: gadiraju(a)l3s.de Web: www.l3s.de/~gadiraju/

CFP: CyberSafety 2019 - The Fourth Workshop on Computational Methods in Online Misbehavior, Co-located with The Web Conference 2019
by Cybersafety 2019 07 Jan '19

07 Jan '19

CALL FOR PAPERS ---------------------------- CyberSafety 2019: The Fourth Workshop on Computational Methods in Online Misbehavior https://cybersafety2019.github.io/ Description ---------------- The Web provides a valuable space for individuals to interact with each other, and read, publish and share content. Despite these benefits, the proliferation of virality and anonymity in the modern Web has resulted in a breeding ground for online misbehavior and compromised cybersafety in varying forms such as fraudulent engagement, misinformation and propaganda, user deception and scams, harassment, hate speech, cyberthreats, cyberbullying and more. These issues have severe negative impacts in terms of manipulated user perception and increased exposure to harmful and offensive content at best, and social, psychological and physical harm at worst. Thus, they unsurprisingly incur large social and financial costs from the perspectives of online social platforms who aim to improve user experience and encourage web activity. The study of these topics has become especially crucial in recent years, due to the constant increase in abuse vectors and tactics, and has taken a social spotlight due to its widespread ramifications. The CyberSafety2019 workshop provides an interdisciplinary venue for researchers in various computational fields including network science, machine learning, data mining, human-computer interaction, natural language processing, web systems, security and privacy and more, to gather and present recent advances in research. Topics ----------- Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Bots, cyborgs, and automated accounts - Fraudulent and inflated engagement - Fake reviewers and reviews - Scams and deception - Hate speech - Harassment and cyberthreats - Cyberbullying - Flashers - Misbehavior and its relation to misinformation - Misbehavior spread - Adversarial analysis - Empirical impacts of online misbehavior - Enforcement and usable security measures - Characterization and case studies - Detection methods Submission and Publication -------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit papers of 2-8 pages in length. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format, using the ACM SIG Proceedings format, with a font size no smaller than 9pt. The formatted manuscript should be submitted via EasyChair link. (Enter as an author and then select cybersafety workshop track). All submissions will be peer-reviewed. All accepted papers will be presented at the workshop. In addition, accepted papers will be published in the companion proceedings of the WWW conference and the ACM digital library, unless the authors choose to opt out from publishing their papers. We encourage both academic and industry submissions of the following types, but not limited to: Novel research papers in full or short length Work-in-progress papers Survey papers Comparison papers of existing methods and tools Case studies Demo papers Extended abstracts Important Dates ---------------------- Paper submission deadline: Sunday, February 3, 2019 Notification of Acceptance: Monday, February 25, 2019 Camera-ready deadline: Sunday, March 3, 2019 Workshop date: May 13 or 14, 2019 Committees ---------------------- Workshop Co-Chairs - Homa Hosseinmardi, University of Southern California, USA - Srijan Kumar, Stanford University, USA - Qin Lv, University of Colorado Boulder, USA TPC Co-Chairs - Richard Han, University of Colorado Boulder, USA - Neil Shah, Snap Inc Steering Committee - Jeremy Blackburn, University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA - Bert Huang, Virginia Tech, USA - Shivakant Mishra, University of Colorado Boulder, USA Publicity Chair - Rahat Ibn Rafiq, University of Colorado Boulder, USA Email: cybersafety2019(a)gmail.com Phone: +1 303 601 3677 Web: https://cybersafety2019.github.io/ ####################################################
