Hi all, The Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation has officially started a new Formal Collaboration [1] with the University of Michigan and the University of Washington, to work collaboratively on "The Role of Images for Knowledge Understanding", as part of our Knowledge Gaps research efforts [3].
Eytan Adar (University of Michigan) and Katharina Reinecke (University of Washington) will be the main formal collaborators contributing to this project. We are thankful to them for agreeing to spend their time and expertise on this project in the coming year! Also, many thanks to those of you who have already worked with us as we were shaping the proposal for this project. We aim to keep the research documentation for this program in the corresponding research page on meta [2], which will link to Epic level Phabricator task capturing and as much as possible all research tasks related to this project. I will be the point of contact for this research in the Wikimedia Foundation. Please feel free to reach out if you have comments or questions about the research! Looking forward to working on this project! Best, Miriam [1] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Formal_collaborations [2] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:The_Role_of_Images_for_Knowledge_Understanding [3] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_Gaps_%E2%80%93_Wikimedia_Research_2030.pdf _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
