Anti-Vandalism Research: The Year in Review
Andrew G. West
The prior year has seen much anti-vandalism research,
both in academic and practical (on-Wikipedia) settings. This
presentation will survey that progress, including the live
demonstration of software tools, and discussion of alternative
uses for anti-vandalism scores (e.g., the Wikipedia 1.0 project
and "smarter watchlists").

Autonomous Detection of Collaborative Link Spam
Andrew G. West
Recent research suggests Wikipedia is vulnerable against a wellmotivated
form of attack: external link spam. This presentation
describes a machine-learning classifier for spam revisions built
atop: (1) Wikipedia metadata, (2) Landing site analysis, and (3)
Third-party data, including the Alexa web-crawler.
