Augmenting Low-Resource Language Wikipedia through Hyperlink Type Recommendation

抄録

Wikipedia stands out as a globally utilized linguistic resource available in over 330 languages, attracting contributions from a diverse group of editors on a global scale. Despite its widespread use, significant disparities persist among language publications, including variations in the number of articles, the spectrum of topics covered, and even the number of contributing community editors. In this paper, we aim to alleviate this gap in the coverage of low-resource languages. Although previous work has focused on multilingual interoperability efforts, the potential of hyperlinks has not been fully realized. Therefore, this study introduces a novel approach focused on hyperlinks, specifically emphasizing hyperlink types derived from Wikidata. We extract and analyze patterns related to these hyperlink types across different languages, using them as recommended solutions to connect the topics of various languages, particularly low-resource languages. Collaborative filtering experiments suggest that using combined languages leads to good overall results while preserving the uniqueness of each language.
