Lightweight Lexical and Semantic Evidence for Detecting Classes Among Wikipedia Articles
Pages 78 - 86
Abstract
A supervised method relies on simple, lightweight features in order to distinguish Wikipedia articles that are classes (Shield volcano) from other articles (Kilauea). The features are lexical or semantic in nature. Experimental results in multiple languages over multiple evaluation sets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over previous work.
