Explicit Semantic Ranking Dataset

Semantic Scholar • 2017
This is the dataset for the paper Explicit Semantic Ranking for Academic Search via Knowledge Graph Embedding. It includes the query log used in the paper, relevance judgements for the queries, ranking lists from Semantic Scholar, candidate documents, entity embeddings trained using the knowledge graph, and baselines, development methods, and alternative methods from the experiments.

This dataset is designed to demonstrate Explicit Semantic Ranking (ESR), a new ranking technique that leverages knowledge graph embedding. Analysis of the query log from our academic search engine, SemanticScholar.org, reveals that a major error source is its inability to understand the meaning of research concepts in queries. To addresses this challenge, ESR represents queries and documents in the entity space and ranks them based on their semantic connections from their knowledge graph embedding. Experiments demonstrate ESR’s ability in improving Semantic Scholar’s online production system, especially on hard queries where word-based ranking fails.

Structure

In the zip file you will find the following files and folders:

s2_query.json contains the queries used in this paper. Each line of it is a json format dictionary, with the following format:

{
  "qid": "the query id",
  "query": "the query string",
  "ana": {
    the annotated entity id and frequency
  }
}

The entities are from Freebase. Please refer to the final dump of Freebase to get more information about these entities.

s2.trec is the TREC format ranking files. It contains the ranking lists from semanticscholar.org’s production search engine (as of 2016 summer).

s2_doc.json contains the candidate documents. Each line of it is a json format dictionary. Its fields include:

docno: the doc id
title
keyPhrase: the automatically extracted key phrases for this paper.
paperAbstract: paper abstract
venue
numCitedBy: number of citations
numKeyCitations: number of key citations. Key citation means the other paper considers this one as a very important related work. It is from semanticsholar's production system.
Ana: the annotation of each of the title, paperAbstract, and body field.

Due to copyright restrictions, we are not allowed to release the body text. Please check https://api.semanticscholar.org/ to get the full corpus and more information about each document.

s2.qrel is the relevance judgments for these queries. It was labeled by the first two authors. Judging the relevance of computer science papers is very hard. We have to read many papers’ abstract or even introductions ourselves before making any reasonable judgments. The current size of labels is limited. Keep updated with SemanticScholar.org for future possible benchmark release.

ranking_res folder includes the ranking results of all baselines, develop methods, and alternative methods in the experiments and analysis of this paper. Feel free to conduct future experiments based on them.

knowledge_graph_embedding folder contains the entity embeddings trained using our knowledge graph. It is in Google word2vec format.
