Exploring Wikipedia's Category Graph for Query Classification

Exploring Wikipedia's Category Graph for Query Classification - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Milad Alemzadeh, Richard Khoury and Fakhri Karray.

Overview

Wikipedia's category graph is a network of 400,000 interconnected category labels, and can be a powerful resource for many classification tasks. However, its size and the lack of order can make it difficult to navigate. In this paper, authors present a new algorithm to efficiently explore this graph and discover accurate classification labels. Authors implement algorithm as the core of a query classification system and demonstrate its reliability using the KDD CUP 2005 competition as a benchmark.
