Forwarding to the discovery mailing as the outcome of this research might be extremely valuable for search. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Morten Wang &lt;nettrom(a)gmail.com&gt; Date: Wed, Apr 19, 2017 at 1:17 AM Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Project exploring automated classification of article importance To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities < wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; 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.
