Enriching Wikipedia Vandalism Taxonomy via Subclass Discovery
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper adopts an unsupervised subclass discovery approach to automatically improve the taxonomy of Wikipedia vandalism. Wikipedia vandalism, defined as malicious editing intended to compromise the integrity of the content of articles, exhibits heterogeneous characteristics, making it hard to detect automatically. The categorization of vandalism provides insights on the detection of vandalism instances. Experimental results demonstrate the potential of using supervised and unsupervised learning to reproduce the manual annotation and enrich the predefined knowledge representation.

Language of Vandalism: Improving Wikipedia Vandalism Detection via Stylometric Analysis
Community-based knowledge forums, such as Wikipedia, are susceptible to vandalism, i.e., ill-intentioned contributions that are detrimental to the quality of collective intelligence. Most previous work to date relies on shallow lexico-syntactic patterns and metadata to automatically detect vandalism in Wikipedia. In this paper, we explore more linguistically motivated approaches to vandalism de...

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In this open model, some people edits with the intent of harming the integrity of Wikipedia. This is known as vandalism. We extend the framework presented in (Potthast, Stein, and Gerling, 2008) for Wikipedia vandalism detection.
