Classifying Wikipedia Articles Using Network Motif Counts and Ratios - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Guangyu Wu, Martin Harrigan and Padraig Cunningham.

Overview

Because the production of Wikipedia articles is a collaborative process, the edit network around a article can tell us something about the quality of that article. Articles that have received little attention will have sparse networks; at the other end of the spectrum, articles that are Wikipedia battle grounds will have very crowded networks. In this paper authors evaluate the idea of characterizing edit networks as a vector of motif counts that can be used in clustering and classification. Their objective is not immediately to develop a powerful classifier but to assess what is the signal in network motifs. Authors show that this motif count vector representation is effective for classifying articles on the Wikipedia quality scale. Authors further show that ratios of motif counts can effectively overcome normalization problems when comparing networks of radically different sizes.
