Towards Better STEM Recommendations: A Gold-Standard Dataset with Math Content

This repository includes the first gold standard dataset for recommending scientific research articles with mathematical content. Along with the dataset, we provide scripts used to construct the dataset and to run an example evaluation.

Overview of the repo

  • dataset : Contains recommendations pairs and their contents. (For the content of each file and descrption, please refer to the "dataset" folder)
  • src: Contains python scripts required to come up the seed documents. Additionally, scripts required to use the dataset for evaluating a recommendation system approach.

Main contents of the repository

Dataset

As of April-2024, there are 421 recommendation pairs with 80 seed research articles.

1. Recommendation pairs.

All recommendation pairs are available "dataset/recommendationPairs.csv" are with their zbMATHOpen_ID. For example: The research article with ID:1566951 is "Noncommutative symmetric algebras of two-sided vector spaces." Sample recommendation pairs from the curated dataset.

Seed 1st recommendation 2nd recommendation 3rd recommendation 4th recommendation 5th recommendation
1566951 4181495 930151 5083606 1579464 6338806
1363213 1445144 1036371 6225939 2165994 1801581
1308161 1356576 4193896 5638157 5007259
1303018 951967 5354085 5120555 427914 224045
1591097 5049067 3867686 1758339 2136591

The first column represents the seed research articles and subsequent columns ranked recommendations. The recommendations are ranked according to the decreasing order of relevancy. In order to find research articles manually in zbMATH Open, search at "https://zbmath.org/" with the prefix an (for example: "an:1566951") or via URL requests directly given the search query with “an:” prefix. For example: https://zbmath.org/?q=an%3A1566951 where %3A is the URL encoding of the colon :

2. Document contents.

Each research article's contents such as title, abstract/review/summarry, authors, MSC codes, Full-text link, references, etc are available in dataset/documentContents.csv.

Example research article from the file:

zbMATH_ID Title Abstract/Review/Summarry Authors Keywords MSCs Full text link References
10342 Maximal contact ...... The author proves the following theorem: Fix an infinite...... Cossart V..... Samuel stratum and desingularization..... [{code: 14E15... https://doi.org/10.1215/S0012-7094-91-06303-9 S. Abhyankar: Resolution of.....

Additionally, contents from any research article from zbMATH Open can be fetched via zbMATH Open API directly downloaded from the official repository on zenodo repository.

Seed documents Creation

Here we mention the scripts to get the representative seeds from the zbMATH Open. Note: These steps are not required if you directly want to use the dataset. Please refer to the "Example use case of the dataset" below for information regarding utilizing dataset for evaluation.

virtual environment

python3 -m venv recseedsel (More on creating virtual environment) source recseedsel/bin/activate (activate virtual environment)

install dependencies

pip install -r src/requirements.txt

1. Preprocessing

The following table provides scripts and its functions/steps involved in preprocessing. The preprocessing steps are only required to calculate the representative seed research article.

No. Functionality/Step Script
1 Load all zbMATH Open documents as local .txt files src/preProcessing/getAlldocs.py
2 Remove short/irrelevant documents src/preProcessing/remvShrtdocs.py
3 Extract TOIs and remove Non-English documents src/preProcessing/extractTOIs.py
4 Convert LaTeX to MathML and extract MOIs src/preProcessing/extractMOIs.py

2. Seed documents selection

The representative seed documents selection follows a four step procedure. Each step and its corresponding scripts are available in the following table.

Step No. Name Script
1 Capture probability calculation src/seedDocSelection/captureProb.py
2 Final seeds selection src/seedDocSelection/finalSeedsSel.py

Example use case of dataset (Evaluation Section 3.2)

Step No. Feature Script
1 Abstract src\exampleEvaluation/abstractSimil.py
2 Formulae src\exampleEvaluation/formulaeSimil.py
3 References src\exampleEvaluation/refrencesSimil.py
