Automatic Quality Assessment of Content Created Collaboratively by Web Communities: A Case Study of Wikipedia - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Daniel Hasan Dalip, Marcos Andre Goncalves, Marco Antônio Pinheiro de Cristo and Pável Pereira Calado.
Overview
The old dream of a universal repository containing all the human knowledge and culture is becoming possible through the Internet and the Web. Moreover, this is happening with the direct collaborative, participation of people. Wikipedia is a great example. It is an enormous repository of information with free access and edition, created by the community in a collaborative manner. However, this large amount of information, made available democratically and virtually without any control, raises questions about its relative quality. In this work authors explore a significant number of quality indicators, some of them proposed by us and used here for the first time, and study their capability to assess the quality of Wikipedia articles. Furthermore, authors explore machine learning techniques to combine these quality indicators into one single assessment judgment. Through experiments, authors show that the most important quality indicators are the easiest ones to extract, namely, textual features related to length, structure and style. Authors were also able to determine which indicators did not contribute significantly to the quality assessment. These were, coincidentally, the most complex features, such as those based on link analysis. Finally, authors compare their combination method with state-of-the-art solution and show significant improvements in terms of effective quality prediction.
