Mining New Translation Lexicons from Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Jong-Hoon Oh, Daisuke Kawahara, Kiyotaka Uchimoto and Hitoshi Isahara.
Overview
In this paper, authors propose a method of mining new translation lexicons from Wikipedia. To do this, first a network is constructed with nodes representing Wikipedia articles and links representing the dependencies between the articles. Then authors learn a model of translation lexicons by investigating co-occurrence patterns of the existing translation lexicons in a Wikipedia network. Finally, new translation lexicons can be found by estimating the cross-lingual similarities between the nodes in different languages. Experiments show that method effectively finds new translation lexicons.
