A New Citation Recommendation Strategy Based on Term Functions in Related Studies Section

Purpose:Researchers frequently encounter the following problems when writing scientific articles:(1)Selecting appropriate citations to support the research idea is challenging.(2)The literature review is not conducted extensively,which leads to working on a research problem that others have well addressed.The study focuses on citation recommendation in the related studies section by applying the term function of a citation context,potentially improving the efficiency of writing a literature review.Design/methodology/approach:We present nine term functions with three newly created and six identified from existing literature.Using these term functions as labels,we annotate 531 research papers in three topics to evaluate our proposed recommendation strategy.BM25 and Word2vec with VSM are implemented as the baseline models for the recommendation.Then the term function information is applied to enhance the performance.Findings:The experiments show that the term function-based methods outperform the baseline methods regarding the recall,precision,and F1-score measurement,demonstrating that term functions are useful in identifying valuable citations.Research limitations:The dataset is insufficient due to the complexity of annotating citation functions for paragraphs in the related studies section.More recent deep learning models should be performed to future validate the proposed approach.Practical implications:The citation recommendation strategy can be helpful for valuable citation discovery,semantic scientific retrieval,and automatic literature review generation.Originality/value:The proposed citation function-based citation recommendation can generate intuitive explanations of the results for users,improving the transparency,persuasiveness,and effectiveness of recommender systems.

A Latent Entity-Document Class Mixture of Experts Model for Cumulative Citation Recommendation

Knowledge Bases （KBs） are valuable resources of human knowledge which contribute to many applications. However, since they are manually maintained, there is a big lag between their contents and the upto-date information of entities. Considering a target entity in KBs, this paper investigates how Cumulative Citation Recommendation （CCR） can be used to effectively detect its worthy-citation documents in large volumes of stream data. Most global relevant models only consider semantic and temporat features of entity-document instances, which does not sufficiently exploit prior knowledge underlying entity-document instances. To tackle this problem, we present a Mixture of Experts （ME） model by introducing a latent layer to capture relationships between the entity-document instances and their latent class information. An extensive set of experiments was conducted on TREC-KBA-2013 dataset. The results show that the model can significantly achieve a better performance gain compared to state-of-the-art models in CCR.

Content-Based Hybrid Deep Neural Network Citation Recommendation Method

The rapid growth of scientific papers makes it difficult to query related papers efficiently,accurately and with high coverage.Traditional citation recommendation algorithms rely heavily on the metadata of query documents,which leads to the low quality of recommendation results.In this paper,DeepCite,a content-based hybrid neural network citation recommendation method is proposed.First,the BERT model was used to extract the high-level semantic representation vectors in the text,then the multi-scale CNN model and BiLSTM model were used to obtain the local information and the sequence information of the context in the sentence,and the text vectors were matched in depth to generate candidate sets.Further,the depth neural network was used to rerank the candidate sets by combining the score of candidate sets and multisource features.In the reranking stage,a variety of Metapath features were extracted from the citation network,and added to the deep neural network to learn,and the ranking of recommendation results were optimized.Compared with PWFC,ClusCite,BM25,RW,NNRank models,the results of the Deepcite algorithm presented in the ANN datasets show that the precision(P@20),recall rate(R@20),MRR and MAP indexesrise by 2.3%,3.9%,2.4%and 2.1%respectively.Experimental results on DBLP datasets show that the improvement is 2.4%,4.3%,1.8%and 1.2%respectively.Therefore,the algorithm proposed in this paper effectively improves the quality of citation recommendation.
