Hi all,

Miriam Redi and I just published a blog post summarizing some of our recent research using machine learning to detect sentences that need citations, as well as the reason why a citation is likely necessary for that sentence.

Read the blog post (high-level summary) here https://wikimediafoundation.org/2019/04/03/can-machine-learning-uncover-wikipedias-missing-citation-needed-tags/, wade into the details here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Identification_of_Unsourced_Statements, and ask questions and provide feedback here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Identification_of_Unsourced_Statements .

Thanks, Jonathan
