Title Capturing the Ineffable: Collecting, Analysing, and Automating Web Document Quality Assessments
Abstract Automatic estimation of the quality of Web documents is a challenging task, especially because the definition of quality heavily depends on the individuals who define it, on the context where it applies, and on the nature of the tasks at hand. In this talk, I will present the current status of the ADS project QuPiD, which aims at automating the process of quality assessment of Web documents. In particular, I will illustrate two use cases we recently run with the aim of nichesourcing app we developed to collect quality assessments. These user studies involved Journalism students and Media scholars and allowed us to shed a light both on how these assessments are characterized and on how they relate to documents features.
