Shibing Xiang, Xin Jiang, Bing Liu, Yurui Huang, Chaolin Tian, Yifang Ma
An embedding-based model named SciConNav was developed to infer intricate knowledge pathways by contextually learning from millions of scholarly research trajectories. This model provides fine-grained navigation through scientific concepts and identifies critical interdisciplinary connections, revealing that such concepts disproportionately serve as bridges in the global knowledge network.
Key insights
- Scientific knowledge development inherently involves interdependent precedence relationships between concepts, which can be inferred from historical research trajectories.
- NLP embedding techniques effectively capture contextual semantics and disciplinary classifications of scientific concepts.
- Interdisciplinary concepts disproportionately act as crucial bridges, enhancing the overall interconnectedness and accessibility of the global scientific knowledge network.
