New method enhances scientific embeddings for literature mapping

Researchers have developed a method to improve the usefulness of scientific document embeddings for exploratory literature mapping. By adapting existing embeddings like SPECTER2 using only available metadata from citation databases, they can decompress the similarity distribution. This adaptation process, demonstrated on a corpus of artificial and machine consciousness publications, resulted in graphs with higher modularity and better connectivity compared to standard methods.

    Weakly Supervised Adaptation of Scientific Embeddings for Exploratory Literature Mapping

    Scientific document embeddings such as SPECTER2 are optimized for retrieval over large, heterogeneous corpora. On a small specialized corpus their similarity distributions can become highly compressed, which limits their usefulness for exploratory literature mapping. We study whe…
