What is citation recall?
A measure of how well a model can recall and cite relevant sources or references
citation recall explained in plain English
Citation recall is a task in natural language processing where a model is given a piece of text and asked to identify and retrieve relevant citations or references that support the claims made in the text
Analogy
Citation recall is like trying to find the sources listed in the bibliography of a research paper, but instead of a human doing it, a computer model is tasked with finding the relevant citations
Example
A fact-checking website uses citation recall to identify and link to relevant sources that support or contradict a particular claim made in a news article
How is citation recall used?
Common misconceptions about citation recall
One common misconception is that citation recall is only useful for academic purposes, when in fact it has many practical applications in areas such as journalism and research
History
Citation recall has its roots in early work on information retrieval and citation analysis, but has gained significant attention in recent years with the development of more advanced natural language processing techniques
