While the existing work in this specific area is far from extensive, previous experiments in evaluating context-based citation recommendation systems have used one of three approaches.

The task: Citation Resolution

In this section we present the evaluation method in more abstract terms; for the implementation used in this paper, please see Sections 4 and 5.

Our test corpus consists of approx.

  1. Exploiting the human judgements that are already implicit in available resources, we avoid purpose-specific annotation.
    Page 1, “Abstract”
  2. A main problem we face is that evaluating the performance of these systems ultimately requires human judgement .
    Page 1, “Introduction”
  3. Fortunately there is already an abundance of data that meets our requirements: every scientific paper contains human “judgements” in the form of citations to other papers which are contextually appropriate: that is, relevant to specific passages of the document and aligned with its argumentative structure.
    Page 1, “Introduction”
  4. Citation Resolution is a method for evaluating CBCR systems that is exclusively based on this source of human judgements .
    Page 1, “Introduction”
  5. Third, as we outlined above, existing citations between papers can be exploited as a source of human judgements .
    Page 2, “Related work”
  6. The core criterion of this task is to use only the human judgements that we have clearest evidence for.
