Aligning slides to scholarly papers Why do it? • Slides can be seen as a dual and/or summary of papers • Useful as a learning and comprehension aid • See OCW example in Leslie and Tomas’ lecture notes What’s the goal? • A digital library of slides/papers and their fine-grained alignment to scholarly papers (an extension of CiteSeer or Rexa) What data to use? • Seeded with CiteSeer data (thanks to CL Giles), merged in DBLP • Searched for corresponding <ppt, pdf> presentation using Google API 2nd CSAIL MIT Workshop
SlideSeer Demo Proof of concept • 10 presentation/paper pairs manually aligned • Allows focus on one medium with other in context • Allows full slideshow mode • Navigation using mouse, keyboard shortcuts • Search using Lucene IR package 2nd CSAIL MIT Workshop
Next steps • Planning to hook up current work in progress: • 2 stage CRF/SVM re-ranking citation segmentation algorithm • Automatic keyphrase extraction program • Automatic synthetic image classification • Automatic de-deduplication module • Partnering with Simone Teufel (Cambridge, UK) to do argumentative zoning of documents • What is a citation used for? 2nd CSAIL MIT Workshop
