Coling 2010 23rd International Conference on Computational Linguistics Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on The People’s Web Meets NLP: Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources Produced by Chinese Information Processing Society of China All rights reserved for Coling 2010 CD production. To order the CD of Coling 2010 and its Workshop Proceedings, please contact: Chinese Information Processing Society of China No.4, Southern Fourth Street Haidian District, Beijing, 100190 China Tel: +86-010-62562916 Fax: +86-010-62562916 [email protected] ii Introduction This volume contains papers accepted for presentation at the 2nd Workshop on Collaboratively Constructed Semantic Resources that took place on August 28, 2010, as part of the Coling 2010 conference in Beijing. Being the second workshop on this topic, we were able to build on the success of the previous workshop on this topic held as part of ACL-IJCNLP 2009. In many works, collaboratively constructed semantic resources have been used to overcome the knowledge acquisition bottleneck and coverage problems pertinent to conventional lexical semantic resources. The greatest popularity in this respect can so far certainly be attributed to Wikipedia. However, other resources, such as folksonomies or the multilingual collaboratively constructed dictionary Wiktionary, have also shown great potential. Thus, the scope of the workshop deliberately includes any collaboratively constructed resource, not only Wikipedia. Effective deployment of such resources to enhance Natural Language Processing introduces a pressing need to address a set of fundamental challenges, e.g. the interoperability with existing resources, or the quality of the extracted lexical semantic knowledge. Interoperability between resources is crucial as no single resource provides perfect coverage. -
Using Wikipedia to Strengthen Research and Critical Thinking Skills
From Audience to Authorship to Authority: Using Wikipedia to Strengthen Research and Critical Thinking Skills Michele Van Hoeck and Debra Hoffmann This paper looks at Wikipedia’s effectiveness as a pedagogical tool to encourage students to think critical- ly about notions of audience, authorship and authority, and also Wikipedia’s impact on student research persistence. Two case studies are presented in which Wikipedia was used as the platform for assignments in 1) a two-unit freshman information literacy course at California State University (CSU), Maritime (Cal Maritime), and 2) in two three-unit, cross-listed upper-division courses at CSU Channel Islands (CI). At Cal Maritime, the course culminated with students significantly expanding a Wikipedia article. At CI, one course used Wikipedia to explore issues of authority and expertise; the other course used Wikipedia to think critically about notions of authorship and audience. Cal Maritime data on student attitudes, re- search practices such as interlibrary loan borrowing, and student citations suggest the Wikipedia plat- form had, overall, a positive impact on research persistence. Finally, the authors discuss lessons learned from initial use of Wikipedia in the classroom and opportunities for instruction librarians to incorporate Wikipedia into information literacy instruction outside of a credit-bearing course. Introduction and critical thinking skills as editors and creators of Information Literacy instruction often focuses on content. We take a case study approach in presenting cautioning students regarding the use of Wikipedia experiences on two California State University cam- as a credible source for their research, as authors of puses in which Wikipedia was used as the platform Wikipedia articles are often anonymous, and edit- for assignments in credit-bearing information literacy ing Wikipedia does not require proof of expertise. -
The Culture of Wikipedia
Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia Good Faith Collaboration The Culture of Wikipedia Joseph Michael Reagle Jr. Foreword by Lawrence Lessig The MIT Press, Cambridge, MA. Web edition, Copyright © 2011 by Joseph Michael Reagle Jr. CC-NC-SA 3.0 Purchase at Amazon.com | Barnes and Noble | IndieBound | MIT Press Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been lauded, lambasted, and satirized. Despite unease over its implications for the character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer than ever to a realization of the centuries-old Author Bio & Research Blog pursuit of a universal encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots, collaborative culture, and much debated legacy. Foreword Preface to the Web Edition Praise for Good Faith Collaboration Preface Extended Table of Contents "Reagle offers a compelling case that Wikipedia's most fascinating and unprecedented aspect isn't the encyclopedia itself — rather, it's the collaborative culture that underpins it: brawling, self-reflexive, funny, serious, and full-tilt committed to the 1.

On Two Existing Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Social Media Data
On two existing approaches to statistical analysis of social media data M. Patone∗1 and L.-C. Zhang y1,2 1Department of Social Statistics and Demography, Univ. of Southampton, UK 2Statistisk sentralbyr˚a,Norway May 3, 2019 Abstract Using social media data for statistical analysis of general population faces com- monly two basic obstacles: firstly, social media data are collected for different objects than the population units of interest; secondly, the relevant measures are typically not available directly but need to be extracted by algorithms or machine learning tech- niques. In this paper we examine and summarise two existing approaches to statistical analysis based on social media data, which can be discerned in the literature. In the first approach, analysis is applied to the social media data that are organised around the objects directly observed in the data; in the second one, a different analysis is applied to a constructed pseudo survey dataset, aimed to transform the observed social media data to a set of units from the target population. We elaborate systematically the relevant data quality frameworks, exemplify their applications, and highlight some typical challenges associated with social media data. arXiv:1905.00635v1 [stat.AP] 2 May 2019 Key words: quality, representation, measurement, test, non-probability sample. 1 Introduction There has been a notable increase of interest from researchers, companies and governments to conduct statistical analysis based on social media data collected from platforms such as ∗[email protected] [email protected] 1 Twitter or Facebook (see e.g. Kinder-Kurlanda and Weller (2014); Braojos-Gomez et al. -
