Dataset Construction for Scientific-Document Writing Support by Extracting Related Work Section and Citations from PDF Papers (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | To augment datasets used for scientific-document writing support research, we extract texts from “Related Work” sections and citation information in PDF-formatted papers published in English. |
| Approach: | They propose to extract text from “Related Work” sections and citation information from PDF-formatted papers published in English. |
| Outcome: | The proposed dataset is based on a previously constructed dataset using only Tex papers and is compared with the existing one. |

CitationIE: Leveraging the Citation Graph for Scientific Information Extraction (2021.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on scientific information extraction (SciIE) considers extraction solely based on the content of an individual paper, without considering the paper’s place in the broader literature. |
| Approach: | They propose to automate the extraction of key information from scientific documents by leveraging a complementary source: the citation graph of referential links between citing and cited papers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves on a set of English-language scientific documents. |

VILA: Improving Structured Content Extraction from Scientific PDFs Using Visual Layout Groups (2022.tacl-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work has improved extraction accuracy by incorporating elementary layout information, for example, each token’s 2D position on the page, into language model pretraining. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that explicitly models VIsual LAyout (VILA) groups, that is, text lines or text blocks, to further improve extraction accuracy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods show that inserting special tokens denoting layout group boundaries can lead to a 1.9% Macro F1 improvement in token classification. |
