Identifying and Representing Knowledge Delta in Scientific Literature

Abstract

The process of continuously keeping up to date with the state-of-the-art on a specific research topic is a challenging task for researchers not least due to the rapid increase of published research. In this research proposal, we define the term Knowledge Delta (KD) between scientific articles which refers to the differences between pairs of research articles that are similar in some aspects. We propose a three-phase research methodology to identify and represent the KD between articles. We intend to explore the effect of applying different text representations on extracted facts from scientific articles on the downstream task of KD identification.
