text: Today, full-texts of scientific articles are often stored in different locations than the used datasets. Dataset registries aim at a closer integration by making datasets citable but authors typically refer to datasets using inconsistent abbreviations and heterogeneous metadata (e.g. title, publication year). It is thus hard to reproduce research results, to access datasets for further analysis, and to determine the impact of a dataset. Manually detecting references to datasets in scientific articles is time-consuming and requires expert knowledge in the underlying research domain.We propose and evaluate a semi-automatic three-step approach for finding explicit references to datasets in social sciences articles.We first extract pre-defined special features from dataset titles in the da|ra registry, then detect references to datasets using the extracted features, and finally match the references found with corresponding dataset titles. The approach does not require a corpus of articles (avoiding the cold start problem) and performs well on a test corpus. We achieved an F-measure of 0.84 for detecting references in full-texts and an F-measure of 0.83 for finding correct matches of detected references in the da|ra dataset registry.
  @cite_0: Automatic metadata generation provides scalability and usability for digital libraries and their collections. Machine learning methods offer robust and adaptable automatic metadata extraction. We describe a support vector machine classification-based method for metadata extraction from header part of research papers and show that it outperforms other machine learning methods on the same task. The method first classifies each line of the header into one or more of 15 classes. An iterative convergence procedure is then used to improve the line classification by using the predicted class labels of its neighbor lines in the previous round. Further metadata extraction is done by seeking the best chunk boundaries of each line. We found that discovery and use of the structural patterns of the data and domain based word clustering can improve the metadata extraction performance. An appropriate feature normalization also greatly improves the classification performance. Our metadata extraction method was originally designed to improve the metadata extraction quality of the digital libraries Citeseer [S. , (1999)] and EbizSearch [Y. , (2003)]. We believe it can be generalized to other digital libraries.
  @cite_17: This paper is concerned with keyword extraction. By keyword extraction, we mean extracting a subset of words phrases from a document that can describe the ‘meaning' of the document. Keywords are of benefit to many text mining applications. However, a large number of documents do not have keywords and thus it is necessary to assign keywords before enjoying the benefit from it. Several research efforts have been done on keyword extraction. These methods make use of the ‘global context information', which makes the performance of extraction restricted. A thorough and systematic investigation on the issue is thus needed. In this paper, we propose to make use of not only ‘global context information', but also ‘local context information' for extracting keywords from documents. As far as we know, utilizing both ‘global context information' and ‘local context information' in keyword extraction has not been sufficiently investigated previously. Methods for performing the tasks on the basis of Support Vector Machines have also been proposed in this paper. Features in the model have been defined. Experimental results indicate that the proposed SVM based method can significantly outperform the baseline methods for keyword extraction. The proposed method has been applied to document classification, a typical text mining processing. Experimental results show that the accuracy of document classification can be significantly improved by using the keyword extraction method.
summary: Many different machine learning approaches have been employed for extracting metadata, and in a few cases also for detecting dataset references. For example, Zhang2006 @cite_17 and Han2003 @cite_0 proposed keyword extraction methods based on support vector machines (SVM).
