ParsCit: an Open-source CRF Reference String Parsing Package
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe ParsCit, a freely available, open-source implementation of a reference string parsing package. At the core of ParsCit is a trained conditional random field (CRF) model used to label the token sequences in the reference string. A heuristic model wraps this core with added functionality to identify reference strings from a plain text file, and to retrieve the citation contexts. The package comes with utilities to run it as a web service or as a standalone utility. We compare ParsCit on three distinct reference string datasets and show that it compares well with other previously published work.

Neural ParsCit: A Deep Learning Based Reference String Parser
We present a deep learning approach for the core digital libraries task of parsing bibliographic reference strings. We deploy the state-of-the-art Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network architecture, a variant of a recurrent neural network (RNN) to capture long-range dependencies in reference strings. We explore word embeddings and character-based word embeddings as an alternative to hand...

Bibliographic reference parsing refers to extracting machinereadable metadata, such as the names of the authors, the title, or journal name, from bibliographic reference strings. Many approaches to this problem have been proposed so far, including regular expressions, knowledge bases and supervised machine learning. Many open source reference parsers based on various algorithms are also availab...

متن کاملAnalysis and Enhancement of Conditional Random Fields Gene Mention Taggers in BioCreative II Challenge Evaluation
Background: Tagging gene and gene product mentions in scientific text is an important initial step of literature mining. In BioCreative 2 challenge, the conditional random fields model (CRF) was the most prevailing method in the gene mention task. In this paper, we analyze two best performing CRF-based systems in BioCreative 2. We examine their key claims and propose enhancement based on the an...
