Linking Today's Wikipedia and News from the Past - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Arunav Mishra.
Overview
In this paper authors propose a novel task of automatically linking Wikipedia excerpts describing events to past news articles. Constantly evolving Wikipedia articles tend to summarize past events by abstracting fine-grained details that mattered when the event happened. On the other hand, contemporary news articles provide details of events, as they had happened. With connections between these two orthogonal information sources in place, a user could jump between them to acquire a holistic view on past events. Authors cast the linking problems into two retrieval tasks and propose a single framework for addressing them. In addition, authors delineate challenges involved in both these tasks and propose a framework to address these challenges. To build a better understanding of the problem, authors initially consider the simpler task of linking Wikipedia events that are systematically curated into years, decades and centuries, to relevant news articles from the past. These events come with a short textual description and a date indicating when the event happened. Authors present a two-stage cascade approach that leverages the temporal information associated to a given event for improving the linking effectiveness. Authors additionally design several baselines and show that approach outperforms all the baselines. Through the results of studying the simplified task authors come a step closer to solving the larger problem proposed in this paper. As future work, authors plan to build an automatic linking system that answers to the challenges identified in this paper.
