Bo Adler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
B. Thomas Adler (commonly referred to as "Bo") is a computer scientist studying user behavior in Wikipedia and building trust systems for wikis.[1] He is a graduate student at the University of California in Santa Cruz, where he has received a master's degree for research on timed games.[2]
[edit] Research
Bo's research at UC Santa Cruz revolves around the WikiTrust project, under the guidance of Luca de Alfaro. The project began as an investigation into using the rich revision history of Wikipedia to compute author reputations[3], but has evolved into research on text quality and user behavior.[4] Their most recent two works were published in WikiSym 2008:
- B.T. Adler, L. de Alfaro, I. Pye, V. Raman. Measuring Author Contributions to the Wikipedia. In WikiSym 2008: International Symposium on Wikis. Abstract PDF
- B.T. Adler, K. Chatterjee, L. de Alfaro, M. Faella, I. Pye, V. Raman. Assigning Trust to Wikipedia Content. In WikiSym 2008: International Symposium on Wikis. Abstract PDF
Bo also currently conducts research for Fujitsu Laboratories of America. His work there currently involves computational linguistics and information retrieval problems. Previous to graduate school, he helped develop "motion interfaces" for Fujitsu[5] which allowed the user to move a PDA through the air to control actions on the screen.
