Automatic Detection of Outdated Information in Wikipedia Infoboxes - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Thong Tran and Tru H. Cao.

Overview

An infobox of a Wikipedia article generally contains key facts in the article and is organized as attribute-value pairs. Infoboxes not only allow read- ers to rapidly gather the most important information about some aspects of the articles in which they appear, but also provide a source for many knowledge ba- ses derived from Wikipedia. However, not all the values of infobox attributes are updated frequently and accurately. In this paper, authors propose a method to au- tomatically detect outdated attribute values in Wikipedia infoboxes by using facts extracted from the general Web. Authors method uses the pattern-based fact extraction approach. The patterns for fact extraction are automatically learned using a number of available seeds in related Wikipedia infoboxes. Authors have tested and evaluated system on a set of 100 well-established com- panies in the NASDAQ-100 index on their employee numbers, presented by the num_employees attribute value in their Wikipedia article infoboxes. The achieved accuracy is 77% and test result also reveals that 82% of the companies do not have their latest numbers of employees in their Wikipedia article infoboxes.
