As a Search Quality Rater, you will work on many different types of rating projects. The General Guidelines primarily cover Page Quality (PQ) rating and Needs Met (NM) rating; however, the concepts are also important for many other types of rating tasks. For brevity, we refer to “Search Quality Raters” as “raters” in these guidelines. Copyright 2019 5 0.0 Introduction to Search Quality Rating 0.1 The Purpose of Search Quality Rating Your ratings will be used to evaluate search engine quality around the world. Good search engines give results that are helpful for users in their specific language and locale. It is important that you are familiar with and comfortable using a search engine. We encourage you to be an expert in Google search! For example, experiment with using operators (e.g., quotes or a dash) in your searches or try using Google’s a dvanced search option.

  • A Topic-Aligned Multilingual Corpus of Wikipedia Articles for Studying Information Asymmetry in Low Resource Languages
    Proceedings of the 12th Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2020), pages 2373–2380 Marseille, 11–16 May 2020 c European Language Resources Association (ELRA), licensed under CC-BY-NC A Topic-Aligned Multilingual Corpus of Wikipedia Articles for Studying Information Asymmetry in Low Resource Languages Dwaipayan Roy, Sumit Bhatia, Prateek Jain GESIS - Cologne, IBM Research - Delhi, IIIT - Delhi [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Wikipedia is the largest web-based open encyclopedia covering more than three hundred languages. However, different language editions of Wikipedia differ significantly in terms of their information coverage. We present a systematic comparison of information coverage in English Wikipedia (most exhaustive) and Wikipedias in eight other widely spoken languages (Arabic, German, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish). We analyze the content present in the respective Wikipedias in terms of the coverage of topics as well as the depth of coverage of topics included in these Wikipedias. Our analysis quantifies and provides useful insights about the information gap that exists between different language editions of Wikipedia and offers a roadmap for the Information Retrieval (IR) community to bridge this gap. Keywords: Wikipedia, Knowledge base, Information gap 1. Introduction other with respect to the coverage of topics as well as Wikipedia is the largest web-based encyclopedia covering the amount of information about overlapping topics.

  • Towards a Korean Dbpedia and an Approach for Complementing the Korean Wikipedia Based on Dbpedia
    Towards a Korean DBpedia and an Approach for Complementing the Korean Wikipedia based on DBpedia Eun-kyung Kim1, Matthias Weidl2, Key-Sun Choi1, S¨orenAuer2 1 Semantic Web Research Center, CS Department, KAIST, Korea, 305-701 2 Universit¨at Leipzig, Department of Computer Science, Johannisgasse 26, D-04103 Leipzig, Germany [email protected], [email protected] [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. In the first part of this paper we report about experiences when applying the DBpedia extraction framework to the Korean Wikipedia. We improved the extraction of non-Latin characters and extended the framework with pluggable internationalization components in order to fa- cilitate the extraction of localized information. With these improvements we almost doubled the amount of extracted triples. We also will present the results of the extraction for Korean. In the second part, we present a conceptual study aimed at understanding the impact of international resource synchronization in DBpedia. In the absence of any informa- tion synchronization, each country would construct its own datasets and manage it from its users. Moreover the cooperation across the various countries is adversely affected. Keywords: Synchronization, Wikipedia, DBpedia, Multi-lingual 1 Introduction Wikipedia is the largest encyclopedia of mankind and is written collaboratively by people all around the world. Everybody can access this knowledge as well as add and edit articles. Right now Wikipedia is available in 260 languages and the quality of the articles reached a high level [1]. However, Wikipedia only offers full-text search for this textual information. For that reason, different projects have been started to convert this information into structured knowledge, which can be used by Semantic Web technologies to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia.

  • Interview with Sue Gardner, Executive Director WMF October 1, 2009 510 Years from Now, What Is Your Vision?
    Interview with Sue Gardner, Executive Director WMF October 1, 2009 5-10 years from now, what is your vision? What's different about Wikimedia? Personally, I would like to see Wikimedia in the top five for reach in every country. I want to see a broad, rich, deep encyclopedia that's demonstrably meeting people's needs, and is relevant and useful for people everywhere around the world. In order for that to happen, a lot of things would need to change. The community of editors would need to be healthier, more vibrant, more fun. Today, people get burned out. They get tired of hostility and endless debates. Working on Wikipedia is hard, and it does not offer many rewards. Editors have intrinsic motivation not extrinsic, but even so, not much is done to affirm or thank or recognize them. We need to find ways to foster a community that is rich and diverse and friendly and fun to be a part of. That world would include more women, more newly-retired people, more teachers ± all different kinds of people. There would be more ways to participate, more affirmation, more opportunities to be social and friendly. We need a lot of tools and features to help those people be more effective. Currently, there are tons of hacks and workarounds that experienced editors have developed over time, but which new editors don©t know about, and would probably find difficult to use. We need to make those tools visible and easier to use, and we need to invent new ones where they are lacking.

  • Abstract Current Language Resource Tools Provide Only Limited Help for ESL/EFL Writing
    [email protected] ESL/EFL / Abstract Current language resource tools provide only limited help for ESL/EFL writing. This research proposes a language information retrieval approach to acquire referential sentences from corpus under various levels of users language cognition. The approach includes a set of expression elements, such as exact words, prefix, suffix, part-of-speech, wildcard, and subsequence. Sentence retrieval involves both exact match and partial match with user query. Finally, the set of retrieved sentences are evaluated and ranked by multiple sequence alignment for relevance to user expression needs. Keywords: Information Retrieval, Corpus, Writing Assistance.

  • SOME NOTES on the ETYMOLOGY of the WORD Altai / Altay Altai/Altay Kelimesinin Etimolojisi Üzerine Notlar
    ........... SOME NOTES ON THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD altai / altay Altai/Altay Kelimesinin Etimolojisi Üzerine Notlar Hüseyin YILDIZ*1 Dil Araştırmaları, Bahar 2017/20: 187-201 Öz: Günümüzde Altay Dağları’nı adlandırmada kullanılan altay kelimesine tarihî Türk lehçelerinde bu fonetik biçimiyle rastlanmamaktadır. Bize göre altay kelimesinin altun kelimesiyle doğrudan ilgisi vardır. Ancak bunu daha net bir şekilde görebilmek için şu iki soruyu cevaplandırmak gerekir: i) altun kelimesi, Altay dağları için kullanılan adlandırmalarda yer almakta mıdır? ii) İkinci hecedeki /u/ ~ /a/ ve /n/ ~ /y/ denklikleri fonetik olarak açıklanabilir mi? Bu makalede altay kelimesinin etimolojisi fonetik (/n/ ~ /y/ ve /a/~ /u/), semantik (altun yış, chin-shan, altun owla…) ve leksik (Altun Ğol, Altan Ḫusu Owla…) yönlerden tartışılacaktır. Bize göre hem Eski Türkçe altay kelimesinin tarihinden hem de ‘Altay Dağları’ için kullanılan kelimelerden hareketle, kelimenin en eski şekli *paltuń şeklinde tasarlanabilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türk yazı dilleri, Eski Türkçe, etimoloji, altay kelimesi, yer adları, Altay Dağları Abstract: The word altay is an oronym referring to Altai Mountains, but it, in this phonological form, is not attested to have existed in early Turkic works. We consider that the word altay is directly related with the word altun. However, to see this clearer we must answer following two questions: i) Is the word altun used for any denominating system of the Altay Mountains? and ii) Could the equivalencies between /u/ ~ /a/ and between /n/ ~ /y/ phonemes on the second syllable be explained phonologically? This article aims to discuss the etymology of the word altai in following respects: phonologically (/n/ ~ /y/ and /a/~ /u/), semantically (altun yış, chin- shan, altun owla…) and lexically (Altun Ğol, Altan Ḫusu Owla…).

This paper describes an approach to deriving such a large scale and Keywords: multilingual resource by exploiting several facets of the on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia. Knowledge base We show how we can build upon Wikipedia’s existing network of categories and articles to Multilinguality Knowledge acquisition automatically discover new relations and their instances. Working on top of this network allows for added information to influence the network and be propagated throughout it using inference mechanisms that connect different pieces of existing knowledge. We then exploit this gained information to discover new relations that refine some of those found in the previous step. The result is a network containing approximately 3.7 million concepts with lexicalizations in numerous languages and 49+ million relation instances.
