False positives and false negativesIf you believe that ClueBot NG has mistakenly identified a good edit as vandalism, please follow the directions in the warning it gave or click here. Please do not report it on this talk page. It takes less time to report the case to the correct location, and we can handle it more effectively there.If you believe that ClueBot NG has missed an edit that is vandalism, again do not report it here. ClueBot is unable to catch all vandalism. Just revert the edit and warn the editor. ClueBot NG Links!Report False Positives •

Cool Bot
Hi, I think it's really cool that you created a bot that detects vandalism. Is there any reason why you chose to write the majority of your bot in C/C++ instead of the other languages? Also what direction do you think is next after the vandalism bot? Thanks! --Hiitsjamez (talk) 05:34, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
- The primary motivating factor in choosing C++ over other languages is that the machine learning core needs to be fast as it has to keep up with the edit rate of Misplaced Pages as well as occasionally process hundreds of thousands of edits when retraining the bot after tweaking settings. C++ provides close-to-the-metal performance for executing the ANN. Sure, today there are libraries for Python and other languages that allow for fast machine learning in them, but the core of those libraries are also written in C or C++. And those weren't around or at least weren't mature when ClueBot NG was written.
- The next direction that anti-vandalism bots will take will probably be toward better NLP and better learning models like CNNs combined with better datasets. -- Cobi 06:39, 13 September 2018 (UTC)
