Scientific jargon and the flow of ideas
The study of scientific communication typically focuses on citations. Yet scientific language has a substantial impact on how information flows through citation networks. For example, specialist language or “jargon" allows experts to communicate efficiently. Using jargon with outsiders, however, makes communication highly inefficient. To explore this duality, we developed a simple information-t...
متن کاملIdentifying Jargon in Texts
This paper describes on-going work on using jargon to identify author’s beliefs. The main focus of research is to use statistical techniques to help identify particular lexical items that characterize the jargons of groups with particular beliefs. The main thesis was that groups that hold common beliefs tend also to develop common ways of speaking about the topic of those beliefs, ways that dif...
متن کاملFrom Daily Language to Scientific Jargon: The Role of Peer Interaction in Web Forum

NLP definitions of Terminology are usually application-dependent. IR terms are noun sequences that characterize topics. Terms can also be arguments for relations like abbreviation, definition or IS-A. In contrast, this paper explores techniques for extracting terms fitting a broader definition: noun sequences specific to topics and not well-known to naive adults. We describe a chunkingbased app...
متن کاملDelineating Fields Using Mathematical Jargon
Tracing ideas through the scientific literature is useful in understanding the origin of ideas and for generating new ones. Machines can be trained to do this at large scale, feeding search engines and recommendation algorithms. Citations and text are the features commonly used for these tasks. In this paper, we focus on a largely ignored facet of scholarly papers—the equations. Mathematical la...
