Interest Classification of Twitter Users Using Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Kwan Hui Lim and Amitava Datta.

Overview

Authors present a framework for (automatically) classifying the relative interests of Twitter users using information from Wikipedia. Authors proposed framework first uses Wikipedia to automatically classify a user's celebrity followings into various interest categories, followed by determining the relative interests of the user with a weighting compared to his/her other interests. Authors preliminary evaluation on Twitter shows that this framework is able to correctly classify users' interests and that these users frequently converse about topics that reflect both their (detected) interest and a related real-life event.
