Research and Arabic Wikipedia: Finding innovative ways to support editors

Abstract ملخص

At the current stage, there is a limited amount of research around Arabic Wikipedia that aims at supporting the community. We want to change that and explore with you tools to support Arabic Wikipedia editors. To do that, we want to discuss the needs of the community and the tools that are already helpful.

We work on a content editor tool for underserved language Wikipedias, such as Arabic Wikipedia. This tool will allow editors to have a base to start from when translation is not possible. Our tool will use techniques from Information retrieval and Natural Language Processing research such as reference collection, document planning techniques and extractive summarization. We are looking to discuss this and similar approaches to find the potential in such editor-supporting tools.

Therefore, we propose a roundtable with any community member, who is interested in research or making researchers understand the needs of the community. We will prepare questions for editors, such as what is lacking at the moment that would support them and encourage new editors to contribute. We focus especially on technical tools. Further, we want to know from you what you believe is missing to make the editing experience better.

The discussion will be held in English and Arabic (with translations), we are able to take questions in French and German, too.
