Scientific literature records the research process with a standardized structure and provides the clues to track the progress in a scientific field. Understanding its internal structure and content is of paramount importance for natural language processing (NLP) technologies. To meet this requirement, we have developed a multi-layered annotated cor...

Understanding the structure of scientific discourse is of paramount importance for the development of appropriate Natural Language Processing tools able to extract and summarize information from research articles.

The availability of highly-informative semantic descriptions of scholarly publishing contents enables an easier sharing and reuse of research findings as well as a better assessment of the quality of scientific productions. In the context of the ESWC2015 Semantic Publishing Challenge, we present a system that automatically generates rich RDF datase...

The Computational Linguistics (CL) Summarization Pilot Task was created to encourage a community effort to address the research problem of summarizing research articles as “faceted summaries” in the domain of computational linguistics. In this pilot stage, a hand-annotated set of citing papers was provided for ten reference papers to help in automa...

This new resource will contain about 60,000 richly annotated sentences as an extension of the already existing IULA Technical Corpus which is only PoS tagged. In this paper we have focused on describing the work done for defining the annotation...
