Title of the talk: Beyond Metadata: the New Challenges in Mining Scientific Papers

Iana Atanassova
Abstract: Scientific articles make use of complex argumentative structures whose exploitation from a computational point of view is an important challenge. The exploration of scientific corpora involves methods and techniques from Natural Language Processing in order to develop applications in the field of Information Retrieval, Automatic Synthesis, citation analyses or ontological population. Among the problems that remain to be addressed in this domain is the developing fine-grained analysis of the text content of articles to identify specific semantic categories such as the expression of uncertainty and controversy that are an integral part of the scientific process. The well-known IMRaD structure (Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion) is standard template that governs the structure of articles in experimental sciences and provides clearly identifiable text units. We study the internal structure of articles from several different perspectives and report on the processing of a large sample extracted from the PLOS corpus. On the one hand, we analyze citation contexts with respect to their positions, verbs used and similarities across the different sections, and on the other hand, we quantify text re-use in abstracts as well as other phenomena such as the expression of uncertainty. The production of standard datasets dedicated to such tasks is now necessary and would provide favorable environment for the development of new approaches, e.g. using neural networks that require large amounts of labeled data.
