Comparative Evaluation of Link-Based Approaches for Candidate Ranking in Link-To-Wikipedia Systems - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Norberto Fernández García, Jesús Arias Fisteus and Luis Sánchez Fernández.

Overview

In recent years, the task of automatically linking pieces of text (anchors) mentioned in a document to Wikipedia articles that represent the meaning of these anchors has received extensive research attention. Typically, link-to-Wikipedia systems try to find a set of Wikipedia articles that are candidates to represent the meaning of the anchor and, later, rank these candidates to select the most appropriate one. In this ranking process the systems rely on context information obtained from the document where the anchor is mentioned and/or from Wikipedia. In this paper authors center attention in the use of Wikipedia links as context information. In particular, authors offer a review of several candidate ranking approaches in the state-of-the-art that rely on Wikipedia link information. In addition, authors provide a comparative empirical evaluation of the different approaches on five different corpora: the TAC 2010 corpus and four corpora built from actual Wikipedia articles and news items.
