Improving Weak Ad-Hoc Queries Using Wikipedia Asexternal Corpus - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Yinghao Li, Wing Pong Robert Luk, Kei Shiu Edward Ho and Fu Lai Korris Chung.
Overview
In an ad-hoc retrieval task, the query is usually short and the user expects to find the relevant documents in the first several result pages. Authors explored the possibilities of using Wikipedia's articles as an external corpus to expand ad-hoc queries. Results show promising improvements over measures that emphasize on weak queries.
