Using Collective Citing Sentences to Recognize Cited Text in Computational Linguistics Articles

This paper proposes a collective approach to cited text recognition by exploiting a set of citing text from different articles citing the same article. First, the proposed method gathers highly-ranked cited sentences from the cited article using a group of citing text to create a collective information of probable cited sentences. Then, such collective information is used to determine final cited sentences among highly-ranked sentences from similarity-based cited text recognition. Experiments have been conducted on the data set which consists of research articles from a computational linguistics domain. Evaluation results showed that the proposed method could improve the performance of similarity-based baseline approaches.
