:What kinds of questions are you asking? I mean, yes, ideally ORES catches all the vandalism and don't catch any false positives, I think everyone agrees on that. In a realistic world that's more difficult in practice, but seems mostly a technical matter? How can content editors help here?

:: [[User:ProcrastinatingReader|ProcrastinatingReader]] Good question! We can tune the model to, for example, catch more vandalism but also have more false positives. On the other hand, we can tune the model to catch less vandalism but have far fewer false positives. We can even use some cleverness to tune the model to be strict with anonymous editors but more lax with newly registered editors. All of these choices have trade-offs in the amount of edits that need to be reviewed for vandalism and the potential harms that might affect good-faith editors who get caught by the algorithm by chance. There are limits to what we can do technically, so we're really interested in making sure the community of editors have control over how these trade-offs are chosen and applied. --[[User:EpochFail|<span style="display:inline-block;padding:0 .25em;border-bottom:2px solid #008;background: #f6f6f6;" title="aka halfak">EpochFail</span>]] ([[User_talk:EpochFail|talk]] &bull; [[Special:Contributions/EpochFail|contribs]]) 20:48, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
