Wiki Workshop 2017 Chairs’ Welcome
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to Wiki Workshop, a forum for bringing together researchers
exploring all aspects of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
Like the editing aspect of Wikimedia sites, research on Wikimedia projects relies heavily on the
community of researchers who explore the projects to improve our understanding of the current state
and future directions of such projects. This workshop aims to bring this community together on an
annual basis and to welcome new community members. As part of the workshop, we will share the
latest research on Wikimedia projects, explore and share new directions for research, learn about the
new data-sets that have been released publicly, and initiate or continue on new research initiatives.
The target audience will include but is not limited to researchers in:
● natural language processing
● artificial intelligence and machine learning
● graph and network theory
● social computing
● user generated content industry
● social sciences
● linguistics
● Web mining and data mining
The workshop is the fourth workshop in these series, proceeding the Wiki Workshop @ ICWSM
2015, Wiki Workshop @ ICWSM 2016, and Wiki Workshop @ WWW 2016. The list of speakers
and program can be found at the workshop’s website.
