Transparscit: A Transformer-Based Citation Parser Trained On Large-Scale Synthesized Data, Md Sami Uddin
Computer Science Theses & Dissertations
Accurately parsing citation strings is key to automatically building large-scale citation graphs, so a robust citation parser is an essential module in academic search engines. One limitation of the state-of-the-art models (such as ParsCit and Neural-ParsCit) is the lack of a large-scale training corpus. Manually annotating hundreds of thousands of citation strings is laborious and time-consuming. This thesis presents a novel transformer-based citation parser by leveraging the GIANT dataset, consisting of 1 billion synthesized citation strings covering over 1500 citation styles. As opposed to handcrafted features, our model benefits from word embeddings and character-based embeddings by combining the bidirectional long …
