ChEMU dataset for information extraction from chemical patents
No full textThe discovery of new chemical compounds and their synthesis process is of great importance to the chemical industry. Patent documents contain critical and timely information about newly discovered chemical compounds, providing a rich resource for chemical research in both academia and industry. Chemical patents are often the initial venues where a new chemical compound is disclosed. Only a small proportion of chemical compounds are ever published in journals and these publications can be delayed by up to 3 years after the patent disclosure. In addition, chemical patent documents usually contain unique information, such as reaction steps and experimental conditions for compound synthesis and mode of action. These details are crucial for the understanding of compound prior art, and provide a means for novelty checking and validation. Due to the high volume of chemical patents, approaches that enable automatic information extraction from these patents are in demand. To develop natural language processing methods for large-scale mining of chemical information from patent texts, a corpus is created providing chemical patent snippets and annotated entities and reaction steps
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Scalable Learning of Entity and Predicate Embeddings for Knowledge Graph Completion
Full text linkKnowledge Graphs (KGs) are a widely used formalism for representing knowledge in the Web of Data. We focus on the problem of link prediction, i.e. predicting missing links
in large knowledge graphs, so to discover new facts about the world. Representation learning models that embed entities and relation types in continuous vector spaces recently were used to achieve new state-of-the-art link prediction results. A limiting factor in these models is that the process of learning the optimal embedding vectors can be really time-consuming, and might even require days of computations for large KGs. In this work, we propose a principled method for sensibly reducing the learning time, while converging to more accurate link prediction models.
Furthermore, we employ the proposed method for training and
evaluating a set of novel and scalable models. Our extensive
evaluations show significant improvements over state-of-the-art
link prediction methods on several datasets
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
