Cluebot NG

Cluebot NG (CBNG) is a Misplaced Pages anti-vandalism bot. CBNG was created as the successor to Cluebot. It uses machine learning and Bayesian Statistics to determine if recent changes are vandalism or disruptive to Misplaced Pages.

History

CBNG was created by Christopher Breneman and Cobi Carter in 2010. CBNG shares very little in relationship to the original Cluebot, except its name and how they interface with Misplaced Pages. NG stands for Next Generation. Since it's inception, CBNG has made over three million edits. The false positive rate is hadn set by administartors. Currently it is 2%.

Criticism

Critics have stated that CBNG bites new users, by not being able to apply a human brain's knowledge to the edit, and leaving impersonal templates. Some have called it "rubbish", and tried to have the bot shut down.
