Weasels, Hedges and Peacocks: Discourse-Level Uncertainty in Wikipedia Articles - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Veronika Vincze.

Overview

Uncertainty is an important linguistic phenomenon that is relevant in many areas of language processing. While earlier research mostly concentrated on the semantic aspects of uncertainty, here authors focus on discourse- and pragmaticsrelated aspects of uncertainty. Authors present a classification of such linguistic phenomena and introduce a corpus of Wikipedia articles in which the presented types of discourse-level uncertainty ‐ weasel, hedge and peacock ‐ have been manually annotated. Authors also discuss some experimental results on discourse-level uncertainty detection.
