This month's presentations:
Using WikiBrain to visualize Wikipedia's neighborhoodsBy *Dr. Shilad Sen https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Shilad*While Wikipedia serves as the world's most widely reference for humans, it also represents the most widely use body of knowledge for algorithms that must reason about the world. I will provide an overview of WikiBrain, a software project that serves as a platform for Wikipedia-based algorithms. I will also demo a brand new system built on WikiBrain that visualizes any dataset as a topographic map whose neighborhoods correspond to related Wikipedia articles. I hope to get feedback about which directions for these tools are most useful to the Wikipedia research community.
