Hakuna Data: Eine (sehr kurze) Einführung in Kiswahili, lexikographische Daten auf Wikidata und Wikifunctions
Swahili, lexikographische Daten in Wikidata und Wikifunctions. Ein Team so stark wie Timon und Pumbaa.
Angenommen du reist nach Nairobi zu einer Wikimedia-Konferenz, lernst gerade so Touri-Phrasen wie "Hujambo" und "Asante", und plötzlich beginnst du dich für die Datenstruktur der Sprache zu interessieren. Das ist mir dieses Jahr passiert. Swahili ist eine faszinierende Sprache, zu der ich ein bisschen was erzählen werde. Es geht u.a. um Nominalklassen und Verbtabellen und wie sie in einen Pandas DataFrame passen.
Leider gibt es ein Problem: Wikidata enthält kaum Swahili-Lexeme. Wörterbucheinträge sind rar und Definitionen noch rarer, sagt SPARQL, Das ist ein echtes Problem. Denn schließlich bedeuten mehr Swahili-Daten in Wikidata auch mehr Swahili im Semantic Web.
Mit Wikifunctions könnten wir Funktionen bauen, die automatisch Sätze wie einen Wikpedia-Artikela nfang erzeugen ("Nairobi ist eine Stadt”), zum Beispiel in Swahili, auf Knopfdruck! Stell dir vor, ein Wikifunction-Generator erzeugt Swahili-Sätze, während Wikidata die nötigen Lexeme stellt. Das klingt wie ein Märchen? Wenn wir kollaborativ zusammenarbeiten, kann es Wirklichket werden.

The Great Firewall of China (GFW) is one of, if not arguably the most advanced Internet censorship systems in the world. Because repressive governments generally do not simply publish their censorship rules, the task of determining exactly what is and isn’t allowed falls upon the censorship measurement community, who run experiments over censored networks. In this talk, we’ll discuss two ways censorship measurement has evolved from passive experimentation to active attacks against the Great ...

While the extreme right is on the rise in many countries and climate change is unrolling, a promising future seems to be written: According to Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and some other “tech bros” it is to leave the dying planet to go to space. With the help of something called “A(G)I”. But what kind of future is the one that is promised? And what is the connection between power cycles of tech company owners and people who's believes can be called fascist? As we moved power through data in ...

OpenAutoLab, an open source machine, that is capable of processing contemporary color and black-and-white films for analogue photography, is being presented here.

Now it is better documented, waits to be built by more people and to be further developed by the community.

Typography is the art of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. However, for the neophyte, typography is mostly apprehended as the juxtaposition of characters displayed on the screen while for the expert, typography means typeface, scripts, unicode, glyphs, ascender, descender, tracking, hinting, kerning, shaping, weigth, slant, etc. Typography is actually much more than the mere rendering of glyphs and involves many different concepts. If glyph ...
