I[0] am an Outreachy Round 15 intern and I am working on AICaptcha[1]
project. This project is aimed at creating a better captcha system (like
the Google invisible captcha) which can prevent/reduce the incidence of
bots creating user accounts and spamming Wikipedia. My mentors on this
project are Gergő Tisza[2] and Adam Roses Wight[3].
The key aspects of this project are:
1. Data capture for training a machine learning classifier which is
elaborated in Phabricator task[4]. The data can be captured from the
registration page using the WikiMediaEvents extension.
2. Feature selection, dealing with selecting the most appropriate features
which can improve the classification model, explained in Phabricator task[5]
3. Finding appropriate machine learning classifier to create the model [6].
Kindly provide suggestions/ideas on Phabricator, so that any idea missed by
oversight can be discussed. Also if there are any possible issues which I
have not thought about yet, please comment on the tasks so that I can take
care of them sooner rather than later.

"who would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:

Hello,
I checked the FAQs and asked one question on french Wikipedia but got no answer.
The subject of the email says all but here is an example.
If you look at the wikipedia article :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince
it lists many articles for different types of pliers.
I you hover over the links, it will display a preview (hover-preview)
with a small text and most of the time a small image of the
corresponding pliers.
(This is quite useful to learn the name of a particular type of pliers
without opening a lots of tabs :).)
I saw that the link "la pince universelle ;" didn't show any image but
when I looked at the corresponding article, it did have an image
(https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince_universelle).
I tried to correct that, comparing the code between
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince_%C3%A0_avoyer that displayed an
image in its hover-preview and
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince_universelle, without success. (I
changed "File:" with "Image:").
I think this is a bug that the image of the article
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pince_universelle isn't displayed in its
hover-preview, but I would like to know what you think about it (maybe
the problem stems from the fact that the file has whitespaces in its
name.)
Moreover, I have a feature request : it would be great if the
edit-preview would also display the hover-preview so that you can
validate your modifications also with respect to the hover-preview of
the article.
Happy new year, best regards,
Laurent Lyaudet
