'''Casting a Web of Trust over Wikipedia: an Interaction-Based Approach''' - scientific work related to [[Wikipedia quality]] published in 2011, written by [[Silviu Maniu]], [[Talel Abdessalem]] and [[Bogdan Cautis]].

== Overview ==
Authors report in this short paper results on inferring a signed network (a "web of trust") from user interactions. On the [[Wikipedia]] network of contributors, from a collection of articles in the politics domain and their revision history, authors investigate mechanisms by which relationships between contributors - in the form of signed directed links - can be inferred from their interactions. Authors preliminary study provides valuable insight into principles underlying a signed network of Wikipedia contributors that is captured by social interaction. Authors look into whether this network (called hereafter WikiSigned) represents indeed a plausible configuration of link signs. Authors assess connections to social theories such as structural balance and status, which have already been considered in online communities. Authors also evaluate on this network the accuracy of a learned predictor for edge signs. Equipped with learning techniques that have been applied before on three explicit signed networks, authors obtain good accuracy over the WikiSigned edges. Moreover, by cross training-testing authors obtain strong evidence that network does reveal an implicit signed configuration and that it has similar characteristics to the explicit ones, even though it is inferred from interactions. Authors also report on an application of the resulting signed network that impacts Wikipedia readers, namely the classification of Wikipedia articles by importance and quality.
