Citation

  • Title : Who Should I Cite? Learning Literature Search Models from Citation Behavior
  • Authors : S. Bethard and D. Jurafsky
  • Venue : CIKM 2010

Summary

This paper describes a retrieval model to search relevant existing work in a collection of scientific articles. The authors claimed that the model is useful when a researcher wants to conduct a new research outside his/her area of expertise and needs to get familiar with prior work in the field. The model incorporates various text and meta features and uses the citation networks to learn weights of these features.

Dataset

ACL Anthology (they used ~11,000 papers)

Model

Documents are ranked based on their scores.
For scoring, they used linear model between a query Q (project idea) and a document D (existing scientific article) as follows :

Features

To compute the score between a query Q and a document D, they used the following features :

  • Terms :
    • TF-IDF between Q and D
  • Citations :
    • Number of papers that cited D
    • Number of citations for articles in the venue in which D was published
    • Number of citations author of D has received (if there are multiple authors, use one with the most citation counts)
      • A variant using h-index instead of raw citation counts was also explored. An author with h-index h has published h papers each of which has been cited at least h times.
    • PageRank score of document collection calculated over the citation network (instead of the hyperlink network)
  • Recency:
    • year Q - year D. (effect : older papers get less scores).
  • Cited using similar terms :
    • TF-IDF between Q and all documents cited D
    • TF-IDF between Q and a vector constructed using PMI to select important terms used when other documents cited D
  • Similar Topics (100 topics from LDA) :
    • Cosine similarity between Q and D
    • Cosine similarity between Q and averaged topic distributions of all other documents which cited D
    • Topic citation count score
      • For each document in the collection, choose its most prominent topic (denoted by T). Documents cited by this document are considered to be cited by topic T. Normalized the number of topic citations for each document to get the probability. For a query Q, choose its most prominent topic, denoted by S. Topic citation score is the probability computed above for document D and topic S.
    • Entropy of D's topic distribution
    • Entropy of documents-citing-D's mean topic distributions
  • Social habits :
    • Authors : boost D if it has been cited by authors of Q
    • Authors-cited-article : boost D if it has been cited by authors of Q
    • Authors-cited-author : boost D if it was written by authors that were cited by authors of Q
    • Authors-cited-venue : boost D if it appeared in the venue authors of Q has cited
    • Authors-coauthored : boost D if it was written by authors who have co-authored with authors of Q.

Experiments

Feature scores were log-transformed and scaled to between 0 and 1.
They experimented with two classifiers :

Results

  • Performance on the dev set for logistic regression model was worse than the SVM-MAP model so they only used SVM-MAP for the test set.
  • They did (partial) ablation analysis on the test set and showed that the model using all features performed the best (evaluated by mean averaged precision).

Feature analysis

Below are feature weights from the SVM-MAP model used to evaluate the test set
