Abstract

This paper addresses the challenge of determining the identity of math expressions in scientific documents by linking these expressions to their corresponding Wikipedia articles. Math expressions are frequently used to denote important concepts in scientific documents, yet several of them, for example, famous equations, often have minimal explanation in the documents. This task will allow us to obtain an additional explanation from Wikipedia regarding these math expressions. This paper proposes an approach to this challenge, where the structures and surrounding text of math expressions are used for math entity linking. Our initial evaluation shows that a balanced combination of math structures and textual descriptions is required to obtain reliable linking performance.
