Abstract

Locating specific scientific content from a large corpora is crucial to researchers. This paper presents SolutionTailor (The demo video is available at: https://mm.doshisha.ac.jp/sci2/SolutionTailor.html), a novel system that recommends papers that provide diverse solutions for a specific research objective. The proposed system does not require any prior information from a user; it only requires the user to specify the target research field and enter a research abstract representing the user’s interests. Our approach uses a neural language model to divide abstract sentences into “Background/Objective” and “Methodologies” and defines a new similarity measure between papers. Our current experiments indicate that the proposed system can recommend literature in a specific objective beyond a query paper’s citations compared with a baseline system.

Notes

  1. 1.

    https://scholar.google.co.jp/citations?view_op=top_venues.

  2. 2.

    We evaluated not the final similarity score but only \(cos_{BO}\) because the competition papers do not always have significantly different solutions.
