Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Project exploring automated classification of article importance
To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities <wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hello everyone,

I am currently working with Aaron Halfaker and Dario Taraborelli at the
Wikimedia Foundation on a project exploring automated classification of
article importance. Our goal is to characterize the importance of an
article within a given context and design a system to predict a relative
importance rank. We have a project page on meta[1] and welcome comments or
thoughts on our talk page. You can of course also respond here on
wiki-research-l, or send me an email.

Before moving on to model-building I did a fairly thorough literature
review, finding a myriad of papers spanning several disciplines. We have a
draft literature review also up on meta[2], which should give you a
reasonable introduction to the topic. Again, comments or thoughts (e.g.
papers we’ve missed) on the talk page, mailing list, or through email are
welcome.
