CS Tea Talk Series

Thu, April 27, 2017 • 4:00pm - 5:00pm (1h) • CMC 209

Title:  Harnessing Wikipedia for Computational Good

Abstract:  Algorithms rely on Wikipedia to reason about the world. However, Wikipedia exhibits gender bias and geographic inequalities. How does this affect the algorithms that learn from Wikipedia? In this talk I will identify inequalities in Wikipedia content, describe a new map-based visualization that reveals pattern in bias, and explore how these dynamics affect the algorithms that learn from Wikipedia.
