Elusive Vandalism Detection in Wikipedia: a Text Stability-Based Approach - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Qinyi Wu, Danesh Irani, Calton Pu and Lakshmish Ramaswamy.
Overview
The open collaborative nature of wikis encourages participation of all users, but at the same time exposes their content to vandalism. The current vandalism-detection techniques, while effective against relatively obvious vandalism edits, prove to be inadequate in detecting increasingly prevalent sophisticated (or elusive) vandal edits. Authors identify a number of vandal edits that can take hours, even days, to correct and propose a text stability-based approach for detecting them. Authors approach is focused on the likelihood of a certain part of an article being modified by a regular edit. In addition to text-stability, machine learning-based technique also takes into account edit patterns. Authors evaluate the performance of approach on a corpus comprising of 15000 manually labeled edits from the Wikipedia Vandalism PAN corpus. The experimental results show that text-stability is able to improve the performance of the selected machine-learning algorithms significantly.
