Dario Taraborelli

I am a researcher in social computing based in San Francisco, where I work as the Senior Research Analyst with the Wikimedia Foundation's Product Development Team ››
With my team I run user engagement experiments to study new forms of participation and collaboration and sustain growth in Wikipedia ››

More broadly my research looks at the behavioral and social implications of collaborative technology. I am particularly interested in understanding the principles governing large-scale online collaboration and peer production as well as online reputation, epistemic authority and trust ››

My background is in cognitive science and in a past life I worked on perceptual theory, cognitive architecture and the relation between action and perception ››

In my spare time I write code ››
