Revision Scoring

A generic, machine learning-based revision scoring system designed to help automate critical wiki-work — for example, vandalism detection and removal. This library powers ORES.

Example

Using a scorer_model to score a revision::

  import mwapi
  from revscoring import Model
  from revscoring.extractors.api.extractor import Extractor

  with open("models/enwiki.damaging.linear_svc.model") as f:
       scorer_model = Model.load(f)

  extractor = Extractor(mwapi.Session(host="https://en.wikipedia.org",
                                          user_agent="revscoring demo"))

  feature_values = list(extractor.extract(123456789, scorer_model.features))

  print(scorer_model.score(feature_values))
  {'prediction': True, 'probability': {False: 0.4694409344514984, True: 0.5305590655485017}}

Installation

The easiest way to install is via the Python package installer (pip).

pip install revscoring

You may find that some of the dependencies fail to compile (namely scipy, numpy and sklearn). In that case, you'll need to install some dependencies in your operating system.

Ubuntu & Debian:

Run sudo apt-get install python3-dev g++ gfortran liblapack-dev libopenblas-dev enchant
Run sudo apt-get install aspell-ar aspell-bn aspell-el aspell-id aspell-is aspell-pl aspell-ro aspell-sv aspell-ta aspell-uk myspell-cs myspell-de-at myspell-de-ch myspell-de-de myspell-es myspell-et myspell-fa myspell-fr myspell-he myspell-hr myspell-hu myspell-lv myspell-nb myspell-nl myspell-pt-pt myspell-pt-br myspell-ru myspell-hr hunspell-bs hunspell-ca hunspell-en-au hunspell-en-us hunspell-en-gb hunspell-eu hunspell-gl hunspell-it hunspell-hi hunspell-sr hunspell-vi voikko-fi

MacOS:

Using Homebrew and pip, installing revscoring and enchant can be accomplished as follows::

brew install aspell --with-all-languages
brew install enchant
pip install --no-binary pyenchant revscoring

Adding languages in aspell (MacOS only)

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/pt/aspell-pt-0.50-2.tar.bz2
bzip2 -dc aspell-pt-0.50-2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd aspell-pt-0.50-2
./configure
make
sudo make install

Caveats:
The differences between the aspell and myspell dictionaries can cause some of the tests to fail

Finally, in order to make use of language features, you'll need to download some NLTK data. The following command will get the necessary corpora.

python -m nltk.downloader omw sentiwordnet stopwords wordnet

You'll also need to install enchant-compatible dictionaries of the languages you'd like to use. We recommend the following:
