Mining Wikipedia for Discovering Multilingual Definitions on the Web - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2008, written by Alejandro Figueroa.

Overview

Ml-DfWebQA is a multilingual definition question answering system (QAS) that extracts answers to definition queries from the short descriptions of web-sites returned by search engines, called web snippets. These answers are discriminated on the ground of lexico-syntactic regularities mined from multilingual resources supplied by wikipedia. Results support that these regularities serve to significantly strengthen the answering process. In addition, Ml-DfWebQA increases the robustness of multilingual definition QASs by making use of aliases found in wikipedia.
