The AI gets on Wikipedia: Software Revision Objective Evaluation Service (ORES) developed by the editors of the online collaborative is able to recognize the quality of a modification according to the language and the context of change. Most ‘quality and more control of what is written on Wikipedia are the objectives for which it was born the AI software.
The news was explained by the Wikimedia Foundation in a blog post of the group that manages Wikipedia in 2001, published in over 290 languages, and one of the most visited sites in the world.
There are about half a million changes of Wikipedia every day. “In order to maintain the quality of Wikipedia, the inclusion of new content needs to be constantly reviewed by Wikipedians” reads the blog.
The new service of artificial intelligence now allows editors of Wikipedia discover the changes are not correct and can be used to have more control over the items, and mark these real-time quality.
While some automated tools have been “incredibly effective to maintain the quality of Wikipedia” He says the foundation, other previous projects to involve artificial intelligence in Wikipedia have proved to be failures, and have not been well received by the community of editors of the encyclopedia online. Some systems have blocked automatically changes from new publishers, something seen as a problem for newcomers with a willingness to keep up to date the pages of their interest. ORES aims to circumvent this problem previously purely judging the content of a change.
“The thing to note is that [ORES] does not judge if the contents that people are adding are actually true, because it is immensely difficult, but goes to look at the quality, “said Professor John Carroll University of Sussex, interviewed by BBC .
Thanks to the combination of open data ( open data) and machine learning algorithms open source, “our goal is to make the quality control in Wikipedia more transparent, verifiable and easy to experiment” is to know the Wikimedia foundation. “Our hope is that ORES enable fundamental advances in the way it controls the quality of the changes, and make quality control more efficient and make Wikipedia a more welcoming place for new publishers.”.
The Wikimedia Foundation said it had tested the service for a few months and more than a dozen instruments and editing services are already using ORES. The service is online at the moment, “and ready to be experienced.”
What will change for those who consult Wikipedia? For readers basically anything from a technical standpoint, while for the experience of using collaborative encyclopedia content quality should be higher (according to the Foundation); the main benefits will have them publishers, who now have an advanced tool that controll for their quality content created or modified.
