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.
