Scientometric Analysis and Classification of Research Using Convolutional Neural Networks: A Case Study in Data Science and Analytics

Abstract

With the increasing development of published literature, classification methods based on bibliometric information and traditional machine learning approaches encounter performance challenges related to overly coarse classifications and low accuracy. This study presents a deep learning approach for scientometric analysis and classification of scientific literature based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). Three dimensions, namely publication features, author features, and content features, were divided into explicit and implicit features to form a set of scientometric terms through explicit feature extraction and implicit feature mapping. The weighted scientometric term vectors are fitted into a CNN model to achieve dual-label classification of literature based on research content and methods. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated using an application example from the data science and analytics literature. The empirical results show that the scientometric classification model proposed in this study performs better than comparable machine learning classification methods in terms of precision, recognition, and F1-score. It also exhibits higher accuracy than deep learning classification based solely on explicit and dominant features. This study provides a methodological guide for fine-grained classification of scientific literature and a thorough investigation of its practice.

Identifying Hot Information Security Topics Using LDA and Multivariate Mann-Kendall Test

“…A research topic is a general term comprising phenomena, concepts and theories, techniques and technologies, or broad problem areas that are worth investigating to enhance the body of knowledge of mankind. In order to identify research topics from bibliometric data, NLP proposes various methods including document clustering [5], author co-citation analysis [6] or document classification [7]. However, the topic modeling based approach is rapidly becoming a standard in this respect and generally employs Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) [8] and its variants to discover research topics from scientific publication corpora preprocessed in either bag-ofwords [9], [10], [11] or bag-of-entities [12] fashion.…”
