Structuring Wikipedia Articles with Section Recommendations - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2018, written by Tiziano Piccardi, Michele Catasta, Leila Zia and Robert West.

Overview

Sections are the building blocks of Wikipedia articles. They enhance readability and can be used as a structured entry point for creating and expanding articles. Structuring a new or already existing Wikipedia article with sections is a hard task for humans, especially for newcomers or less experienced editors, as it requires significant knowledge about how a well-written article looks for each possible topic. Inspired by this need, the present paper defines the problem of section recommendation for Wikipedia articles and proposes several approaches for tackling it. Authors systems can help editors by recommending what sections to add to already existing or newly created Wikipedia articles. Authors basic paradigm is to generate recommendations by sourcing sections from articles that are similar to the input article. Authors explore several ways of defining similarity for this purpose (based on topic modeling, collaborative filtering, and Wikipedia's category system). Authors use both automatic and human evaluation approaches for assessing the performance of recommendation system, concluding that the category-based approach works best, achieving precision@10 of about 80% in the human evaluation.
