Virtual Citation Proximity (VCP): Calculating Co-Citation-Proximity-Based Document Relatedness for Uncited Documents with Machine Learning (preprint)

We published a proposal on ResearchGate (DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.18759.39842) for a novel approach to the calculate relatedness of research articles and other document types. The relatedness of research articles, patents, legal documents, web pages, and other documents is often calculated with citation or hyperlink based approaches such as citation proximity analysis (CPA).

General Computer Science Knowledge: Machine Learning vs. Databases vs. Writing vs. Research [What Machine-Learning Students Think/Like/Know/Are …]

On average, the machine-learning students had average knowledge in databases and general writing (around 3 out of 5 points), below-average knowledge in writing research papers (1.9 out of 5 points), and little knowledge in machine learning (1.5 out of 5). The little knowledge about machine learning is not surprising though, Read more…
