Wikispeedia: An Online Game for Inferring Semantic Distances Between Concepts - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Robert West, Joëlle P. Pineau and Doina Precup.
Overview
Computing the semantic distance between real-world concepts is crucial for many intelligent applications. Authors present a novel method that leverages data from 'Wikispeedia', an online game played on Wikipedia; players have to reach an article from another, unrelated article, only by clicking links in the articles encountered. In order to automatically infer semantic distances between everyday concepts, their method effectively extracts the common sense displayed by humans during play, and is thus more desirable, from a cognitive point of view, than purely corpus-based methods. Authors show that their method significantly outperforms Latent Semantic Analysis in a psychometric evaluation of the quality of learned semantic distances.
