用及时、位置敏感的术语和符号定义扩充科学论文
Augmenting Scientific Papers with Just-in-Time, Position-Sensitive Definitions of Terms and Symbols
摘要：
尽管研究论文对科学进步至关重要，但它们可能很难阅读。当理解一段文章所需的信息存在于其他地方时，理解往往会受阻：在另一个部分，或者在另一篇论文中。在这项工作中，我们设想接口如何在读者最需要的时候和地方为他们带来技术术语和符号的定义。我们介绍ScholarPhi，这是一个增强阅读界面，具有四个新功能：（1）工具提示，其显示来自论文中其他地方的位置敏感的定义，（2）在论文上的过滤器，其“整理”该论文以揭示术语或符号在论文中的使用方式，（3）并行地暴露多个定义的自动方程图，以及（4）自动生成的重要术语和符号的词汇表。一项可用性研究表明，该工具可以帮助所有经验水平的研究人员阅读论文。此外，研究人员渴望有ScholarPhi的定义，以支持他们的日常阅读。
英文摘要：
Despite the central importance of research papers to scientific progress, they can be difficult to read. Comprehension is often stymied when the information needed to understand a passage resides somewhere else: in another section, or in another paper. In this work, we envision how interfaces can bring definitions of technical terms and symbols to readers when and where they need them most. We introduce ScholarPhi, an augmented reading interface with four novel features: (1) tooltips that surface position-sensitive definitions from elsewhere in a paper, (2) a filter over the paper that "declutters" it to reveal how the term or symbol is used across the paper, (3) automatic equation diagrams that expose multiple definitions in parallel, and (4) an automatically generated glossary of important terms and symbols. A usability study showed that the tool helps researchers of all experience levels read papers. Furthermore, researchers were eager to have ScholarPhi's definitions available to support their everyday reading.
