Project Summary

[edit]

Methods

[edit]

We would analyse the relations between the Wikipedia pages graph and users' search and then try to make predictions that could be used as suggestions if relevant

Dissemination

[edit]

This is a class based project. I don't think there is any requirement to keep results/code private and if so we would share what is of interest. If results are of particular importance, we might publish a paper.

Wikimedia Policies, Ethics, and Human Subjects Protection

Benefits for the Wikimedia community

[edit]

If results are good, this would let the Wikipedia fondation have a better understanding of the way people look for knowledge. It could also enhance users experience if relevant recommendations were made to them.

Timeline

[edit]

We would like to start working on this as shortly as possible. This is a project for a Machine Learning class me and Kevin are taking at MIT. The project would end in mid December.

Funding
