Finding News Citations for Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2016, written by Besnik Fetahu, Katja Markert, Wolfgang Nejdl and Avishek Anand.
Overview
An important editing policy in Wikipedia is to provide citations for added statements in Wikipedia pages, where statements can be arbitrary pieces of text, ranging from a sentence to a paragraph. In many cases citations are either outdated or missing altogether. In this work authors address the problem of finding and updating news citations for statements in entity pages. Authors propose a two-stage supervised approach for this problem. In the first step, authors construct a classifier to find out whether statements need a news citation or other kinds of citations (web, book, journal, etc.). In the second step, authors develop a news citation algorithm for Wikipedia statements, which recommends appropriate citations from a given news collection. Apart from IR techniques that use the statement to query the news collection, authors also formalize three properties of an appropriate citation, namely: (i) the citation should entail the Wikipedia statement, (ii) the statement should be central to the citation, and (iii) the citation should be from an authoritative source. Authors perform an extensive evaluation of both steps, using 20 million articles from a real-world news collection. Authors results are quite promising, and show that authors can perform this task with high precision and at scale.
