Error Link Detection and Correction in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2016, written by Chengyu Wang, Rong Zhang, Xiaofeng He and Aoying Zhou.

Overview

The hyperlink structure of Wikipedia forms a rich semantic network connecting entities and concepts, enabling it as a valuable source for knowledge harvesting. Wikipedia, as crowd-sourced data, faces various data quality issues which significantly impacts knowledge systems depending on it as the information source. One such issue occurs when an anchor text in a Wikipage links to a wrong Wikipage, causing the error link problem. While much of previous work has focused on leveraging Wikipedia for entity linking, little has been done to detect error links. In this paper, authors address the error link problem, and propose algorithms to detect and correct error links. Authors introduce an efficient method to generate candidate error links based on iterative ranking in an Anchor Text Semantic Network . This greatly reduces the problem space. A more accurate pairwise learning model was used to detect error links from the reduced candidate error link set, while suggesting correct links in the same time. This approach is effective when data sparsity is a challenging issue. The experiments on both English and Chinese Wikipedia illustrate the effectiveness of approach. Authors also provide a preliminary analysis on possible causes of error links in English and Chinese Wikipedia.
