Abstract
[edit | edit source]The availability of Wikipedia content in regional languages, specifically in the Indian languages, is very low. For instance, Telugu has around 1% of the English Wikipedia. Several groups attempted the use of machine translation which resulted in poor quality content. Given this scenario, bot-generated articles using templates and structured databases proved to be efficient to engage the volunteers to enrich the regional content. In the pilot study, computer science students from the local region volunteered to use the framework to create close to 50K bot-generated articles in 7 different domains. Everyone else in the community enriched the bot-generated articles in the wiki way.
Topics: Education and GLAM, Innovation and Research, Languages, Our Stories
