Title: Automatic approaches to bridge knowledge gaps in Wikimedia projects
Abstract: In order to advance knowledge equity as part of the Wikimedia
Movement’s 2030 strategic direction, the Research team at the Wikimedia
Foundation has been conducting research to “Address Knowledge Gaps” as one
of its main programs. One core component of this program is to develop
technologies to bridge knowledge gaps. In this talk, we give an overview on
how we approach this task using tools from Machine Learning in four
different contexts: section alignment in content translation, link
recommendation in structured editing, image recommendation in multimedia
knowledge gaps, and the equity of the recommendations themselves. We will
present how these models can assist contributors in addressing knowledge
gaps. Finally, we will discuss the impact of these models in applications
deployed across Wikimedia projects supporting different Product initiatives
at the Wikimedia Foundation.
