Re: [Wikitech-l] Finding images

Hello! I think, if one is clever enough, some categorization could be automated allready. Searching for pictures based on meta-data is called "Concept Based Image Retrieval", searching based on the machine vision recognized content of the image is called "Content Based Image Retrieval". Wh

Kristian, it's not impossible to find a mentee for such an idea. Please edit: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#Category_suggestions . While we wait for The Perfect Wikidata Heaven Solution (TM), it's worth expertimenting with. Nemo __

Re: [Wikitech-l] Finding images

Hoi, As long as our categories are English, they are useless for all of those who do not speak English. Even so, as long as the current technology is used for those categories it is a trial to find images at all. Many people have given up. Thanks, GerardM On 18 June 2014 09:12, Kristian Kanka

Re: [Wikitech-l] Finding images

Could not the categories' language links be useful here? Otherwise BabelNet[1] has set up different ways to connect concepts in different languages into a semantic network. They call it a multilingual encyclopedic dictionary and compile it by combining data from the Wikipedia(s) and WordNet. It

Hoi, My understanding of English is adequate. I find it however really hard to find the pictures I seek. I have given up using Commons for illustrations on my blog for instance. Thanks, GerardM On 18 June 2014 12:25, Kristian Kankainen wrote: > Could not the categories' language links be us

Woo, being bold! One thing I wonder, would it be good to specify some sort of format for ct_params from the get go, like a json value, and document that all callers should use this format? --bawolff On 6/18/14, Amir E. Aharoni wrote: > I didn't get any replies, so I just went on and started usi
