Greetings from near the Meditation pool at Sierra Hot Springs where I just had a lovely soak, and silently read from my Harbin book, (since it's a quiet place and there were a fair number of people naked in a pretty little pool). HARBIN Book is releasing into the world from a meditative warm water space ~~~ :)

Dear Mr. Houcemeddine Turki, WikiMedicine, Wikidatans (and Wikimedians),

Here's the beginning online Medical School at WUaS in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - which will connect with Wikidata as its "backend" eventually. And WUaS also seeks to emerge out of Stanford Medicine and with OpenCourseWare in multiple languages for our medical schools.


Sincerely, Scott

Hi Olya, Wikibabel, GerardM, and Wikidatans,

How does Wikidata's new lexicographical project work with regard to Swahili (since it is a Wikipedia / Wikidata language) and Google Translate / GNMT re your "Our approach leverages Google Translate to make English Wikipedia articles accessible to underserved communities" (re: https://medium.com/@oirzak/wikibabel-equalizing-information-access-on-a-budget-4038f750e90e)?

Will a Wikibabel team you help create add Swahili lexemes to the lexicographical project - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data - and then Google GNMT - which is end-to-end translation software ... https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a4qVHVWSv4C5WmW4xRBiqNmyOiSTWszMWDPxAPITyXtHpa1zojiMcVz3ZNj94FGQITKUZS6EVOUqfQ2Le6MN9DvJSI323Fkf5RSKnxsCeofApXAm-vF84j3tqws949ZYFuHPlVd5NO8/s1600/image01.gif(https://ai.googleblog.com/2016/11/zero-shot-translation-with-googles.html) - use this new Swahili lexicographical data by processing this through its algorithms?

(WUaS seeks to facilitate machine translation in all 7097 living languages, and by growing out of Google GNMT; WUaS donated itself for co-development to Wikidata in 2015).

Cheers,
Scott



Hi Olya, Lucie, and Wikidatans,

Very interesting projects. And thanks for publishing, Lucie - very helpful!

With regard to Swahili, Arabic (both African languages!) and Esperanto, and leveraging Google Translate / GNMT, I've been looking at this Google GNMT gif image -  https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_a4qVHVWSv4C5WmW4xRBiqNmyOiSTWszMWDPxAPITyXtHpa1zojiMcVz3ZNj94FGQITKUZS6EVOUqfQ2Le6MN9DvJSI323Fkf5RSKnxsCeofApXAm-vF84j3tqws949ZYFuHPlVd5NO8/s1600/image01.gif - and wondering how the triplets of the Linked Open Data of Wikidata structured Knowledge Base (KB) would stream through this in multiple smaller languages?

I couldn't deduce from this paper - https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.07116.pdf - here, for example ...

2.1 Encoding the Triples The encoder part of the model is a feed-forward architecture that encodes the set of input triples into a fixed dimensionality vector, which is subsequently used to initialise the decoder. Given a set of un-ordered triples FE = {f1, f2, . . . , fR : fj = (sj , pj , oj )}, where sj , pj and oj are the onehot vector representations of the respective subject, property and object of the j-th triple, we compute an embedding hfj for the j-th triple by forward propagating as follows: hfj = q(Wh[Winsj ;Winpj ;Winoj ]) , (1) hFE = WF[hf1 ; . . . ; hfR−1 ; hfR ] , (2) where hfj is the embedding vector of each triple fj , hFE is a fixed-length vector representation for all the input triples FE. q is a non-linear activation function, [. . . ; . . .] represents vector concatenation. Win,Wh,WF are trainable weight matrices. Unlike (Chisholm et al., 2017), our encoder is agnostic with respect to the order of input triples. As a result, the order of a particular triple fj in the triples set does not change its significance towards the computation of the vector representation of the whole triples set, hFE .

... whether this would address streaming triplets through GNMT?

Would this? And since Swahili, Arabic and Esperanto, are all active languages in - https://translate.google.com/ - no further coding on the GNMT side would be necessary. (I'm curious how best for WUaS to grow small languages not yet in either Wikipedia/Wikidata's 287-301 languages or in GNMT's ~100+ languages?).

How could your Wikidata / Wikibabel work interface with Google GNMT more fully with time, building on your great Wikidata coding/papers?

Cheers,
Scott

A great meeting was held last night at London Metropolitan University where we planned our strategy for events in the next six months.

We looked at how we could bring together the student, research and GlobalNet21 communities together with local voluntary organisations as well as local employers and local authorities to address some of the big issues that we face today.

Issues such as poverty, mental health an ageing society and community safety were just some of the issues we highlighted.

Five local authorities now work with London Met and from this Autumn we hope to engage all of these at regular events to talk through new ideas, research and avenues for action that will make a difference to the localities in which we live.
