WikiLyzer: Interactive Information Quality Assessment in Wikipedia - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2017, written by Cecilia di Sciascio, David Strohmaier, Marcelo Luis Errecalde and Eduardo E. Veas.

Overview

Innovations in digital libraries and services enable users to access large amounts of data on demand. Yet, quality assessment of information encountered on the Internet remains an elusive open issue. For example, Wikipedia, one of the most visited platforms on the Web, hosts thousands of user-generated articles and undergoes 12 million edits/contributions per month. User-generated content is undoubtedly one of the keys to its success, but also a hindrance to good quality: contributions can be of poor quality because everyone, even anonymous users, can participate. Though Wikipedia has defined guidelines as to what makes the perfect article, authors find it difficult to assert whether their contributions comply with them and reviewers cannot cope with the ever growing amount of articles pending review. Great efforts have been invested in algorith-mic methods for automatic classification of Wikipedia articles (as featured or non-featured) and for quality flaw detection. However, little has been done to support quality assessment of user-generated content through interactive tools that allow for combining automatic methods and human intelligence. Authors developed WikiLyzer, a toolkit comprising three Web-based interactive graphic tools designed to assist knowledge discovery experts in creating and testing metrics for quality measurement , users searching for good articles, and users that need to identify weaknesses to improve a particular article. A case study suggests that experts are able to create complex quality metrics with tool and a report in a user study on its usefulness to identify high-quality content.
