Predicting Low-Quality Wikipedia Articles Using User’S Judgements - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Ning Zhang, Lingyun Ruan and Luo Si.
Overview
Wikipedia has become the most popular on-line encyclopedia. Millions of users rely on it to obtain desired knowledge and thus it becomes important and practical to model the quality of Wikipedia articles and to have inferior contents which bother readers or even mislead readers to be predicted. While identifying low-quality articles with manual efforts is a possible solution, it costs too much manpower and is too time-consuming. In this paper, authors utilize article ratings from Wikipedia users for the first time to assess article quality. Authors define “low-quality” based on those ratings and design automatic methods to identify potential low-quality articles. More specifically, authors formulate the problem as a set of binary classification problems and label articles according to whether they are “low-quality”. Authors compare two baseline algorithms and Logistic Regression algorithm, and the results indicate that it is promising to design effective and efficient automatic solutions for the task. Authors believe that work is important for ensuring the quality of Wikipedia, as well as other knowledge markets.
