How does Semantic Scholar determine a paper’s Field of Study?

Semantic Scholar assigns Field of Study using a machine learning classification model based on a paper’s title and abstract. A paper may be assigned up to three Fields of Study. Field of Study classification is currently limited to English-language papers. It is most reliable when both title and abstract are available, but works on just titles as well. If a paper’s title is too ambiguous, it may not be assigned any Field of Study. To learn more about Field of Study classification on Semantic Scholar, see our blog post.

What is a TLDR?

A TLDR is an AI-generated summarization for a scientific paper that helps researchers quickly determine the key important aspects of a paper. These extreme paper summaries are an alternative to abstracts, intended to help researchers navigate and understand scientific literature easily and efficiently. TLDRs are currently limited to the computer science and biomedical domains. To find out more about TLDRs, see our TLDR page, try our demo, or read the paper on Semantic Scholar.
