Automatic Extraction of Citation Contexts for Research Paper Summarization: A Coreference-chain based Approach

This paper proposes a new method based on coreference-chains for extracting citations from research papers. To evaluate our method we created a corpus of citations comprised of citing papers for 4 cited papers. We analyze some phenomena of citations that are present in our corpus, and then evaluate our method against a cue-phrase-based technique. Our method demonstrates higher precision by 7--10%.
