Abstract

The paper concerns the problem of automatic category system creation for a set of documents connected with references. Presented approach has been evaluated on the Polish Wikipedia, where two graphs: the Wikipedia category graph and article graph has been analyzed. The linkages between Wikipedia articles has been used to create a new category graph with weighted edges. We compare the created category graph with the original Wikipedia category graph, testing its quality in terms of coverage.
