Summarizing Definition from Wikipedia Articles - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Zhicheng Zheng and Xiaoyan Zhu.

Overview

Definitional questions are quite important, since users often want to get a brief overview of a specific topic. It is a more challenging task to answer definitional questions than factoid questions. Since Wikipedia provides a wealth of structural or semi-structural information which covers a large number of topics, such sources will benefit the generation of definitions. In this paper, authors propose a method to summarize definition from multiple related Wikipedia articles. First, authors introduce the Wikipedia concepts model to represent the semantic elements in Wikipedia articles. Second, authors further utilize multiple related articles, rather than a single article, to generate definition. The experiment results on TREC-QA demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed method. The Wikipedia concept model outperforms the word model. Introducing multiple related articles helps find more essential nuggets.
