Two years ago I asked the #Plone community if @plone had a plan for #ActivityPub and the #Fediverse. Now, things are moving 🙂

So far, #Chile has been an attractive center for researchers in Latin America. Many of my classmates came from the region. After getting the doctorate degree, many continue working in Chile, in the industry or as researchers. Some are in the group of the most cited researchers in Chile. Some have been the lecturers of thousands of undergraduate and graduate students. Have supervised many doctoral students. Have collaborated on projects in the public sector and with the industry. However, the current fascist government wants to stop all grants for researchers without a permanent residence in Chile, even for postdocs or assistant professors who were formed in Chile. I am so concerned about all the damage this government is doing.

I also got gifts from Wikimedia 😃. A pair of socks with Wikipedia jigsaw motifs. A deck of playing cards. This is not a usual one; the figures are historical card pictures and have references to their sources in Wikimedia Commons. I got a beautiful "Wikipedia 25" anniversary cup with a wooden lid and a picture of the universe. Notice the detail: in Germany, cups can have lids for the dust and to preserve the liquid temperature, especially for beer cups.

I also included in the picture the event badge and a custom pin with my Wikipedia username. If you visit one of the following events, you may try to find a stand where you can create your own pin.

Thanks to the organizers for this great event! The Stuttgart Wikipedia community was also super friendly. I fully recommend people living in Stuttgart to join them.

The Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart has a very special architecture. The building is like a cube with small rectangular windows. A glass ceiling on top allows natural light to enter—it is probably the floor of the upper levels of the library. Visiting the library is interesting by itself.

The first time I visited it after years of living in Stuttgart. @Ayenkantun and I plan to visit it with calm in another day.

The #WikipediaBus is touring Germany for the 25th anniversary of #Wikipedia! If you missed the Stuttgart stop, there are still several cities to go:

- May 9, Münster
- May 30, Hamburg
- June 6, Berlin (MV)
- June 20, Köln
- July 11, München
- September 18, Regensburg

Check https://wikipedia25.de for details. It's a great opportunity to learn about Wikipedia, Wikidata, and the Wikimedia community. I super recommend it!

#Wikipedia25

Yesterday, I celebrated the 25th anniversary of Wikipedia with the Wikipedia Bus at the Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart. With the Cluster of Excellence SimTech of the University of Stuttgart (@Uni_Stuttgart), we prepared some activities to explain how knowledge is created, verified, and made accessible to everyone. In our interactive station we showed how #Wikidata (@wikidata) can be used to answer queries that are difficult for language models. I also described how my research projects at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (@UniStuttgartAI) will contribute knowledge for everyone. We will provide a platform to integrate this research knowledge with the general knowledge stored in #Wikidata, the collaborative knowledge base by the Wikimedia Foundation (@wikimediafoundation).

In the pictures are some of the people who contribute to our station: Tabea Siegle, Patrick Barth, Denny Vrandečić (@vrandecic), Blazej Grabowski, and me.

It is a pity I am not in Chile to attend this talk. Not only because Ricardo's talks are always interesting, but because this is a question I have always wondered about and we have studied in our ICML 2025 paper:

Cosimo Gregucci, Bo Xiong, Daniel Hernández, Lorenzo Loconte, Pasquale Minervini, Steffen Staab, Antonio Vergari:
Is Complex Query Answering Really Complex?

This is great! I hope other universities in the world do the same! #Fediverse #Mastodon #Universities #Democracy #Education #Science

Our poster paper, "On the Meaning of the Web as an Object of Study" is now on @arxiv_cs and I will present it at #WebSci2026 in Braunschweig!

We argue that the Web has evolved from a focused research object into a universal digital environment, and its very success has fragmented its academic identity. We discuss the "academic tragedy of the commons," the disruptive force of AI, and what it means to study the Web in 2026.

Joint work with Claudio Gutierrez (professor at @dccuchile).

Para todos aquellos que me han estado preguntando qué pasó con @frases. La respuesta es simple. Quería arreglar un bug en el sistema de distribución de frases antes de agregar más frases. Sin embargo, he tenido poco tiempo esta semana. Espero corregirlo el sábado. Al menos los reclamos me dicen que quieren seguir jugando. 🙂

It was snowing a minute ago. Now the sun is shining again. It has been this way all day: snow, sun, snow, sun.

Kast inició una campaña agresiva intentando hacer creer que Chile se encuentra en un estado de emergencia. Sin embargo, hasta ahora su gobierno ha mostrado la hilacha. El 25 de marzo el gobierno hizo circular un video diciendo que Chile estaba en quiebra, cosa que los propios ministros de Kast, de Interior y Hacienda, desmintieron rápidamente. El gobierno tuvo que retirar el video. Existe un consenso entre políticos y economistas de que tal afirmación no se sostiene. La deuda bruta proyectada para 2026 es del 42% del PIB, siendo que el promedio de la OCDE es de 84% del PIB (el doble de Chile). Me pregunto cómo Kast va a seguir este gobierno ahora que varios políticos, desde la centroderecha a la derecha dura tradicional, lo han criticado públicamente por su gestión por más de alguna razón. #Chile #Democracy

This is Koblenz Hbf, the main train station in #Koblenz, #Germany. I am waiting for the train to Stuttgart. This is the third time @Ayenkantun and I visited Koblenz. This time we traveled to attend Philipp Seifer's PhD defense. I co-author several papers with him about #SPARQL #KnowledgeGraphs #SHACL #SemanticWeb He did a great defense! I am very happy!
