Élimination des liens inter-langues erronés dans Wikipédia
Résumé
Many Wikipedia articles that cover the same topic in different language editions are interconnected via cross-language links However, cross-language links are added manually by the users of Wikipedia and, as such, are often incorrect. In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically eliminate incorrect cross-language links. The rationale is that the presence of an incorrect cross-language link is revealed by the existence of a path of cross-links between two articles of the same language edition. Our approach removes cross-languages links, starting from those having a low correctness score, until there is no path between two articles of the same language edition. The results of our evaluation on a snapshot ofWikipedia in 8 languages indicates that our approach shows quantitative promise.
