Abstract

The citation similarity measurement task is defined as determining how similar the meanings of two citations are. This task play an significant role in Natural Language Processing applications, especially in academic plagiarism detection. Yet, computing citation similarity is not a trivial task, due to the incomplete and ambiguous information presented in academic papers, which makes necessity to leverage extra knowledge to understand it, as well as most similarity measures based on the syntactic features, and other based on the semantic part still has many drawbacks. In this paper, we propose a corpus-based approach using deep learning word embeddings to compute more effective citation similarity. Our study explores the previous works on text similarity, namely, string-based, knowledge-based and corpus-based. Then we define our new basis and experiment on a large dataset of scientific papers. The final results demonstrate that deep learning based approach can enhance the effectiveness of citation similarity.
