Abstract

Citations play a vital role in understanding the impact of scientific literature. Generally, citations are analyzed quantitatively whereas qualitative analysis of citations can reveal deeper insights into the impact of a scientific artifact in the community. Therefore, citation impact analysis including sentiment and intent classification enables us to quantify the quality of the citations which can eventually assist us in the estimation of ranking and impact. The contribution of this paper is three-fold. First, we provide ImpactCite, which is an XLNet-based method for citation impact analysis. Second, we propose a clean and reliable dataset for citation sentiment analysis. Third, we benchmark the well-known language models like BERT and ALBERT along with our proposed approach for both tasks of sentiment and intent classification. All evaluations are performed on a set of publicly available citation analysis datasets. Evaluation results reveal that ImpactCite achieves a new state-of-the-art performance for both citation intent and sentiment classification by outperforming the existing approaches by 3.44% and 1.33% in F1-score. Therefore, the evaluation results suggest that ImpactCite is a single solution for both sentiment and intent analysis to better understand the impact of a citation.
