Overview

Wikipedia vandalism identification is a very complex issue, which is now mostly solved manually by volunteers. This paper presents the main components of a system built by group in order to automatically identify vandalized Wikipedia articles. The main component of system is a machine learning component that uses three types of features grouped in 3 classes: Metadata, Text and Language. Additional to previous approaches authors consider 4 new features related to vulgar, biased, sexual and miscellaneous bad words. The obtained results showed an area of 0.42464 under the PR-AUC curve and an area of 0.82963 under the ROC-AUC curve.
