Automatic Vandalism Detection in Wikipedia with Active Associative Classification - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Maria Sumbana, Marcos André Gonçalves, Rodrigo Ferreira da Silva, Jussara M. Almeida and Adriano Veloso.

Overview

Wikipedia and other free editing services for collaboratively generated content have quickly grown in popularity. However, the lack of editing control has made these services vulnerable to various types of malicious actions such as vandalism. State-of-the-art vandalism detection methods are based on supervised techniques, thus relying on the availability of large and representative training collections. Building such collections, often with the help of crowdsourcing, is very costly due to a natural skew towards very few vandalism examples in the available data as well as dynamic patterns. Aiming at reducing the cost of building such collections, authors present a new active sampling technique coupled with an on-demand associative classification algorithm for Wikipedia vandalism detection. Authors show that classifier enhanced with a simple undersampling technique for building the training set outperforms state-of-the-art classifiers such as SVMs and kNNs. Furthermore, by applying active sampling, authors are able to reduce the need for training in almost 96% with only a small impact on detection results.
