We gladly announce the source code release of our named entity disambiguation system AIDA: Accurate Online Disambiguation of Named Entities.
Given a natural-language text, AIDA maps mentions of ambiguous names onto canonical entities (people, places, etc.) registered in a knowledge base such as Yago (http://yago-knowledge.org), which is linked to Wikipedia. For example, in the sentence "When Page played Kashmir at Knebwoth, his Les Paul was uniquely tuned", AIDA would identify "Page" with Jimmy_Page, "Kashmir" with Kashmir_Song, "Knebworth" with the festival, and "Les Paul" with the Gibson_Les_Paul guitar.
The source code of AIDA is available at github under the CC-BY-NC-SA license: https://github.com/yago-naga/aida/ and at the AIDA project page: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/yago-naga/aida/

Dear all,
I am currently writing a chapter on the use of Wiki for learning purposes (to be published by the end of the year in E-Learning 2.0, IGI Global). I am asked to give some insights on future research (that is, planned and/or not yet published).
Do you heard of any ongoing study on this topic?
Greetings,
Pierre-Carl
Interesting venue :) One piece of published work you might want to take a look at is this:
Joseph Corneli and Alexander Mikroyannidis, Crowdsourcing Education on the Web: A Role-based Analysis of Online Learning Communities, in Alexandra Okada, Teresa Conolly, and Peter Scott (eds.), Collaborative Learning 2.0: Open Educational Re- sources, IGI Global, 2012 (Available for purchase through http://www.igi-global. com/book/collaborative-learning-open-educational-resources/59714, version of record at http://oro.open.ac.uk/33221/1/corneli_chap_okada_book.pdf).
That serves to set the stage for my soon-to-be-forthcoming thesis, http://metameso.org/~joe/thesis-outline.html

I'm working on wiki methodologies/technologies for educational assessment, and there is a wide research field ahead. New methodologies for assessment are needed, with suitable computer tools to support them. This is specially critical when the number of students increase and in on-line collaborative learning
You can see some discussion on it in "Assessment of collaborative learning experiences by graphical analysis of wiki contributions", published in the journal Interactive Learning Environments (29 May 2012). The PDF is in Research Gate.
Additionally, we are working in another tool, AssessMediaWiki [1], but we only have an initial conference paper about it .
If you need further information don't hesitate to contact me ;-)

Thanks to you both,
Going from one bibliography to another, I was well aware of the academic literature till 2011. After that, it was logically getting less obvious…
My work aims mainly to compile numerous data gathered in preceding case studies. I have identified several interesting correlations (even though, the sample remains too small to be really definite). For instance, educational wikis with small communities (less than 50 students) have always been successul while wider communities attempts turned out less well.
The work also focus on the "epistimic" value of the wiki, as a representation of scientific communities. Wiki students get acquainted with some valuable epistemic practices and norms, such as collaborative research and critical thought.
Your suggestions are really interesting by that concern : the AssessMediaWiki app as a way to enhance data measurements and the "Peer supported Problem Solving" as a deeper analysis of the epistemic part.

Hi, Pierre.
I recommend you to ask this also on the Wikimedia mailing list on education, see

There are some professores the participating of the Wikipedia Education Program http://education.wikimedia.org that hopefully can help you.

Thanks everybody for this insightful feedback.
In fact, I contemplate launching some kind of Wiki Learning Center that would collect most of academic data and works on this topic. I currently own much more information that could ever be summarized within a chapter-sized study.

I agree, better to create a project in "the wiki home" ;-)
I think its the best way to get a sustainable community for a long-term nice project!

Greetings fellow [Wiki-research-l] subscribers,
I just wanted to notify everyone of the new "flow funding" initiative [1] in which I am participating. Essentially, the program decentralizes the grant process for small amounts (<$2000), giving plentiful discretion to individual "flow funders" (i.e., myself and others).
Since my interests tend to be research-based; pertaining to quantitative methods, wiki security, and editing tools (as opposed to say, local meetups and community organizing) -- I thought some others on the list might have some proposals that fall within my scope.
I imagined a grant of this size might be useful -- for example -- in the context of a Senior/Summer project; financing computing resources or a corpus labeling task to MTurk. The project is in its pilot stages, so we encourage ideas that test/stretch our current expectations.
To submit an idea my way, visit [2]. The main portal [1] also lists the other members who might entertain your ideas.
Thanks, -AW

I have some interest in Wiki projects and the impacts of education for the academic field and applied areas of research. There is a recent Online Open Project from Stanford Artificial Intelligencehttp://singularityhub.com/2011/08/18/100000-sign-up-for-stanfords-open-class-on-artificial-intelligence-classes-with-1-million-next/that has over 100,000 applicants for the 2013 Fall Program. This should yield some interesting results and good analysis for further wiki projects. Keep me posted in regards to Wiki E-Learning and project collaboration. Dylan
