    1 The Duality of Peer Production Infrastructure for the Digital Commons, Free Labor for Free‐Riding Firms Mathieu O’Neil, Sophie Toupin, and Christian Pentzold 1 Introduction There never was a “tragedy of the commons”: Garrett Hardin’s overgrazing farmers were victims of a tragedy of self‐management, as they failed to collectively regulate, as equals, their common pasture. When Elinor Ostrom was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2009, the immemorial notion that there are only two types of goods in the world – private and public, coordinated by markets or the state – was finally put to rest. In the most general terms, peer producers are people who create and manage common‐pool resources together. It sometimes seems as if “peer production” and “digital commons” can be used interchangeably. Digital commons are non‐rivalrous (they can be reproduced at little or no cost) and non‐excludable (no‐one can prevent others from using them, through prop- erty rights for example). So, practically speaking, proprietary objects could be produced by equal “peers,” however we argue that peer production has a normative dimension, so that what chiefly char- acterizes this mode of production is that “the output is orientated towards the further expansion of the commons; while the commons, recursively, is the chief resource in this mode of production” (Söderberg & O’Neil, 2014, p. 2). Though there are many historical antecedents, the term “peer pro- duction,” as an object of public and scientific interest, is historically situated in the early 2000s.1 The meanings associated with a term that is deeply connected to the Internet as it was 20 years ago are bound to change.

  • Community and Communication
    Community and 12 Communication A large, diverse, and thriving group of volun- teers produces encyclopedia articles and administers Wikipedia. Over time, members of the Wikipedia community have developed conventions for interacting with each other, processes for managing content, and policies for minimizing disruptions and maximizing use- ful work. In this chapter, we’ll discuss where to find other contributors and how to ask for help with any topic. We’ll also explain ways in which community members interact with each other. Though most discussion occurs on talk pages, Wikipedia has some central community forums for debate about the site’s larger policies and more specific issues. We’ll also talk about the make-up of the community. First, however, we’ll outline aspects of Wikipedia’s shared culture, from key philosophies about how contributors How Wikipedia Works (C) 2008 by Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, and Ben Yates should interact with each other to some long-running points of debate to some friendly practices that have arisen over time. Although explicit site policies cover content guidelines and social norms, informal philosophies and practices help keep the Wikipedia community of contributors together. Wikipedia’s Culture Wikipedia’s community has grown spontaneously and organically—a recipe for a baffling culture rich with in-jokes and insider references. But core tenets of the wiki way, like Assume Good Faith and Please Don’t Bite the Newcomers, have been with the community since the beginning. Assumptions on Arrival Wikipedians try to treat new editors well. Assume Good Faith (AGF) is a funda- mental philosophy, as well as an official guideline (shortcut WP:AGF) on Wikipedia.

The NIE is built on the infrastructure of the internet and is characterized by characterized by (1) non-proprietary strategies, (2) rising non-market production, and (3) more effective, large-scale cooperative efforts; in other words, “peer production of information, knowledge, and culture.” These aspects challenge our economies and our polities, and hold significant promise for enhancing personal autonomy; however, Benkler, in writing what amounts to a manifesto for the internet, pays little attention to the way in which the NIE is vulnerable to technical capture in the same way the industrial information economy is vulnerable to capital capture, taking a “wait-and-see” approach to regulatory intervention.

Peer Production of Survivable Critical Infrastructures Yochai Benkler* Abstract The paper describes an approach to provisioning survivable critical communications and computation infrastructures by deploying radically distributed, peer-based systems for communication, computation, and data storage and retrieval. The paper focuses on system survivability as an approach to robustness, rather than on artifact-oriented hardness or impregnability. Based on a survey of experience with ad hoc wireless mesh networks, peer-to-peer storage and retrieval systems, and distributed computing, the paper identifies a class of solutions that mobilize redundant capacity resident in privately owned, extant unlicensed wireless devices, desktops, laptops, and handhelds around the periphery of the network to provide redundant, adaptive, self-healing systems.

  • © 2020 Xiaoman Pan CROSS-LINGUAL ENTITY EXTRACTION and LINKING for 300 LANGUAGES
    © 2020 Xiaoman Pan CROSS-LINGUAL ENTITY EXTRACTION AND LINKING FOR 300 LANGUAGES BY XIAOMAN PAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Dr. Heng Ji, Chair Dr. Jiawei Han Dr. Hanghang Tong Dr. Kevin Knight ABSTRACT Information provided in languages which people can understand saves lives in crises. For example, language barrier was one of the main difficulties faced by humanitarian workers responding to the Ebola crisis in 2014. We propose to break language barriers by extracting information (e.g., entities) from a massive variety of languages and ground the information into an existing Knowledge Base (KB) which is accessible to a user in their own language (e.g., a reporter from the World Health Organization who speaks English only). The ambitious goal of this thesis is to develop a Cross-lingual Entity Extraction and Linking framework for 1,000 fine-grained entity types and 300 languages that exist in Wikipedia. Given a document in any of these languages, our framework is able to identify entity name mentions, assign a fine-grained type to each mention, and link it to an English KB if it is linkable. Traditional entity linking methods rely on costly human annotated data to train supervised learning-to-rank models to select the best candidate entity for each mention. In contrast, we propose a novel unsupervised represent-and-compare approach that can accurately capture the semantic meaning representation of each mention, and directly compare its representation with the representation of each candidate entity in the target KB.
