Dynamic Reference Extraction and Linking across Multiple Scholarly Knowledge Graphs

AbstractReferences are an important feature of scientific literature; however, they are unstructured, heterogeneous, noisy, and often multilingual. We present a modular pipeline that leverages fine-tuned transformer models for reference location, classification, parsing, retrieval, and re-ranking across multiple scholarly knowledge graphs, with a focus on multilingual and non-traditional sources such as patents and policy documents. Our main contributions are: a unified pipeline for reference extraction and linking across diverse document types, openly released annotated datasets, fine-tuned models for each subtask, and evaluations across multiple scholarly knowledge graphs, enabling richer, more inclusive infrastructures for open research information.
