Research/Wikimedia Projects The Alphabet Book for Machines
Curie · Saturday 09:30 - 09:50
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) it as hot and emerging topic for researchers and final users. In order to transform machines into 'intelligent agents', computers need to be trained. This training occurs over past data, usually generated (directly or indirectly) by humans. In this talk I'm going to provide a short introduction on how AI learns from data, and discuss the role that Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects plays in current AI environment.
Beyond what the movement intentions or decisions, Wikimedia projects are already a key agent in the AI ecosystem. Therefore, it is important for the movement to discuss what is the current role that we are playing on that environment.
