Authors cite references in papers for a variety of reasons (e.g. confirmatory vs. critical), and when doing so they use wide-ranging language. With the increasing availability of machine-readable research articles, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML), techniques are being used to determine the meaning of references at scale. This lecture will introduce the concept of citation context, review the latest research on applying NLP and ML to determine the meaning of a cited reference, and highlight areas of opportunity for future study.
