[16:55:23] <derenrich>	 does anyone know of regularly updated trained embeddings for wikipedia/wikidata items? is this something the Wikimedia ML team owns? FB released embeddings 2 years ago but they are stale and not easy to update
[17:26:36] <mgerlach>	 derenrich: I am not aware of ready-to-use embeddings of articles/items that are reguarly updated. we also do not maintain such embeddings, though there have been ideas about releasing embeddings regularly such as navigation vectors https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174796 . however, we do use article-embeddings in different projects. one example, is the embedding we generate as part of the link-based topic model 
[17:26:36] <mgerlach>	 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning_models/Production/Language_agnostic_link-based_article_topic_model_card you could probably re-use a similar pipeline from the existing code. alternatively, wikipedia2vec is a ready-to-use package that can generate embeddings of wikipedia articles from a dump-file https://wikipedia2vec.github.io/wikipedia2vec/ 
[17:29:18] <mgerlach>	 it might also depend on what your use-case is. also feel free to attend our office hours in case you would like to discuss in more detail https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Office_hours
[19:09:32] <ragesoss>	 Nettrom: any update on the IP-range-blocks becoming more common thing that we talked about a bit ago?
[19:38:08] <Nettrom>	 ragesoss: The AHaT team is working on doing an initial analysis of blocked account creation. And I think some of the wikis stopped mirroring the automatic proxy blocks that enwiki had in place, but I'm not sure where my source on that information is. Unsure when the blocked account creation analysis is ready, the phab task is here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T322680
[19:39:15] <ragesoss>	 thanks!
[19:39:59] <Nettrom>	 ragesoss: there's also an analysis of blocked edit attempts happening, that's T322682 (linked from the parent task)
[19:39:59] <stashbot>	 T322682: Analyze blocked edit attempts - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T322682
[19:40:08] <Nettrom>	 oh, thanks stashbot! :)
[19:49:58] <AntiComposite>	 ST47ProxyBot blocks were mirrored from enwiki globally between July 2021 to April 2022 (see https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/12/09/proxy-blocks-automation-and-scope/ ). There's another proxy-blocking bot that operates across several wikis, but I'm unfamiliar with it.
