Abstract

Although the number of freely accessible scholarly articles is increasing, it is difficult for non-experts to understandthem since they are written for experts and require background knowledge. Our big goal is to facilitate open innovation based on scholarly articles, developing methods to automatically extract essential elements in them. Once we could understand articles, they would be primary resources for institutional research. To this end, this paper is devoted to developing automatic identification of datasets in articles. Because a dictionary of datasets is necessary for evaluation, existing methods focused on some specific discipline. To achieve applicability to any disciplines, a machine learning approach with huge amounts of papers is adopted. Treating papers in multi-disciplines, the authors are not familiar with all dataset names in them. Therefore we quantitatively evaluate experimental results with precision@N, which does not require to know all the datasets in the papers, and qualitatively check if candidate tokens are dataset names or not using a GUI tool we have developed. Experimental results show precision@N is 0.450 and nDCG is 0.458. However, outputs include names of methods and software. It is an importantfuture work to remove these noise tokens.
