We’re accepting applications until August 31st with a start date by, or before, November 15th.</p>
<p>The surge of coordinated disinformation campaigns to infiltrate, disrupt, and co-opt movements, communities, and platforms is an important challenge for the integrity of the content in Wikimedia projects. At the same time, humans and machines rely on Wikipedia as a neutral arbiter of reliable information on the Web. Preserving the reliability of Wikipedia’s knowledge is therefore key in ensuring the integrity of the information propagating in the broader web.</p>
<p>You’ll work remotely with a distributed team, with members spread between Europe and North America. Here are some things we’ve worked on recently that might give you a better sense of what you could be working on:</p>
<p>Studying how content propagates across different Wikipedia languages, by predicting, given an article created in one language, what is the next language that will have the same article created.<br />
Modeling content inconsistencies between Wikimedia projects by aligning Wikidata statements to sentences in Wikipedia articles through natural language processing techniques.<br />
Designing algorithms to identify malicious actors such as sockpuppets, by detecting clusters of users behaving similarly.<br />
Building a model to detect unsourced content in Wikipedia using machine learning, through neural network classifiers that can detect sentences needing citations based on their content. (paper)<br />
Using qualitative methods to study Wikimedia communities and their patrolling techniques, to discover inner mechanisms of editor workflows to combat disinformation.<br />
You can learn more about what we have done in the past six month by reading our biannual report.</p>
