Experiments and Evaluation of Link Discovery in the Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2008, written by Shlomo Geva, Darren Huang and Andrew Trotman.
Overview
Collaborative knowledge management systems such as the Wikipedia are becoming ever more popular – and these systems typically contain hypertext links between documents. The Wikipedia offers both manual and automated link creation. In fact several different systems providing links for Wikipedia documents now exit. Problematically the quality of automatically generated links has never been quantified. An evaluation method for Wikipedia link discovery approaches is essential. Authors introduce the Link-the-Wiki task launched at INEX in 2007. 90 documents were orphaned from the collection and participants were required to build systems that identified the missing links. The different automated link discovery techniques used by participants are outlined. Details of two successful techniques are given, one using the titles of pre-existing documents to identify anchors and destinations, the other using pre-existing links between documents to identify possible links in new documents. In this paper, authors mainly focus on the analysis and assessment of Wikipedia link discovery and discuss possible future evaluation techniques. Authors examine one system in further detail and conduct a scalability experiment in which 1% of all Wikipedia documents were used and the performance studied in detail – link discovery in this system is shown to be scalable. Finally, potential research directions for link discovery, assessment and evaluation are discussed.
