Abstract

Dispute and controversy are parts of our culture and cannot be omitted on the Internet (where it becomes more anonymous). There have been many studies on controversy, especially on social networks such as Wikipedia. This free on-line encyclopedia has become a very popular data source among many researchers studying behavior or natural language processing. This paper presents using the category structure of Wikipedia to determine the controversy of a single article. This is the first part of the proposed system for classification of topic controversy score for any given text.
