Wikipedia Deploys AI to Expand Its Ranks of Human Editors

A bit more of a technical treatment from the Wikimedia blog yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10663208

Thank you, I was wondering how it differed from Wikipedia's existing vandalism detector systems like ClueBot.

This kind of thing isn't anything new... here's a similar system that is less geared toward vandalism, but more to pointing out structural and lexical flaws in the articles: https://github.com/jcla1/wikipedia_analyser

(Disclaimer: I'm the author)

It too uses neural-nets (and an up to 3-gram model) to detect flaws...

What is this kind of thing written in, I wonder. How cool :)

>Using a set of open source machine learning algorithms known as SciKit Learn—code freely available to the world at large—the service seeks to automatically identify blatant vandalism and separate it from well-intentioned changes.

It's a Python library, available for free download [1]. I've got a book or two on it I've been meaning to read.
