OARelatedWork: A Large-Scale Dataset of Related Work Sections with Full-texts from Open Access Sources

arXiv:2405.01930v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper introduces OARelatedWork: a dataset for related work generation from open-access sources. It is the first large-scale multi-document summarization dataset for related work generation, containing whole related work sections and full texts of cited papers. Its validation and test splits are constructed so that every cited paper is available in full text, enabling controlled evaluation of full-text related work generation. The dataset includes 94 450 papers and 5 824 689 unique referenced papers from multiple domains. With OARelatedWo

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of academic papers and the development of large language models are creating a demand for more sophisticated and automated methods of knowledge synthesis.

Why it’s important

This dataset provides a crucial resource for training AI models to understand, synthesize, and generate academic related work sections, accelerating research and development cycles.

What changes

The availability of 'OARelatedWork' enables more advanced and rigorously evaluated AI systems for scientific literature review and knowledge discovery.

Winners
  • · AI researchers
  • · Open Access publishers
  • · Academic institutions
  • · Knowledge management platforms
Losers
  • · Manual literature review processes
  • · Academic plagiarism (potentially harder to conceal)
  • · Small-scale, non-reproducible AI datasets
Second-order effects
Direct

AI models trained on 'OARelatedWork' will become more adept at generating comprehensive and accurate related work sections for researchers.

Second

The automation of related work generation could significantly reduce the time burden on researchers, accelerating scientific discovery and publication.

Third

This could lead to a 'meta-AI' that not only analyzes research but also helps formulate new research questions by identifying gaps in the literature more efficiently.
