Discovering Mathematical Objects of Interest — A Study of Mathematical Notations. Greiner-Petter, A., Schubotz, M., Müller, F., Breitinger, C., Cohl, H., Aizawa, A., & Gipp, B. In Proceedings of The Web Conference (WWW), pages 1445–1456, Taipei, Taiwan, April, 2020. ACM. Core Rank A*
Paper doi abstract bibtex Mathematical notation, i.e., the writing system used to communicate concepts in mathematics, encodes valuable information for a variety of information search and retrieval systems. Yet, mathematical notations remain mostly unutilized by today's systems. In this paper, we present the first in-depth study on the distributions of mathematical notation in two large scientific corpora: the open access arXiv (2.5B mathematical objects) and the mathematical reviewing service for pure and applied mathematics zbMATH (61M mathematical objects). Our study lays a foundation for future research projects on mathematical information retrieval for large scientific corpora. Further, we demonstrate the relevance of our results to a variety of use-cases. For example, to assist semantic extraction systems, to improve scientific search engines, and to facilitate specialized math recommendation systems. The contributions of our presented research are as follows: (1) we present the first distributional analysis of mathematical formulae on arXiv and zbMATH; (2) we retrieve relevant mathematical objects for given textual search queries (e.g., linking $P_\{n\}{\textasciicircum}\{({\}alpha, {\}beta)\}{\}!{\}left(x{\}right)$ with `Jacobi polynomial'); (3) we extend zbMATH's search engine by providing relevant mathematical formulae; and (4) we exemplify the applicability of the results by presenting auto-completion for math inputs as the first contribution to math recommendation systems. To expedite future research projects, we have made available our source code and data.
