This project is a part of course project and a research project that is done at MIT. The course project is under Alvin Raj[1], Jenny Yuan[2], Serdar[3], and Erdong Chen[4] on course Database System 6.830 at MIT. [5] The research project on language generation is under Erdong Chen[6].

We think this algorithm is useful for enforcing a layout format for biography pages in wikipedia. We aim at testing our algorithm on a small subset of pages and get feedback from the community and improve our algorithm. Any feedback and opinions are welcome.



Function Details: Titles and subtitles are extracted from biography pages. A natural language processing algorithm is run to find common structures in biography entries. Extracted structures are applied to pages in order to match their layout. Only section subtitles are changed for that purpose.

Sample Changes

edit

In the following we show a couple of layout regularization generated by this pod. Here we display three entries for each web page. The first one is the URL of the webpage, the second one is the name of the title to be changed and the third one is the section title which allows a uniformity over the entries in Wikipedia.
