Finding Needles in an Encyclopedic Haystack: Detecting Classes Among Wikipedia Articles - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2018, written by Marius Pasca.

Overview

A lightweight method distinguishes articles within Wikipedia that are classes (“Novel”, “Book”) from other articles (“Three Men in a Boat”, “Diary of a Pilgrimage”). It exploits clues available within the article text and within categories associated with articles in Wikipedia, while not requiring any linguistic preprocessing tools. Experimental results show that classes can be identified among Wikipedia articles in multiple languages, at aggregate precision and recall above 0.9 and 0.6 respectively.
