- Title: Decoding the End-to-end Writing Trajectory in Scholarly Manuscripts
- Authors: Ryan Koo, Anna Martin, Linghe Wang, Dongyeop Kang
- Abstract summary: We introduce a novel taxonomy that categorizes scholarly writing behaviors according to intention, writer actions, and the information types of the written data.
Motivated by cognitive writing theory, our taxonomy for scientific papers includes three levels of categorization in order to trace the general writing flow.
ManuScript intends to provide a complete picture of the scholarly writing process by capturing the linearity and non-linearity of writing trajectory.

- Abstract: Scholarly writing presents a complex space that generally follows a
methodical procedure to plan and produce both rationally sound and creative
compositions. Recent works involving large language models (LLM) demonstrate
considerable success in text generation and revision tasks; however, LLMs still
struggle to provide structural and creative feedback on the document level that
is crucial to academic writing. In this paper, we introduce a novel taxonomy
that categorizes scholarly writing behaviors according to intention, writer
actions, and the information types of the written data. We also provide
ManuScript, an original dataset annotated with a simplified version of our
taxonomy to show writer actions and the intentions behind them. Motivated by
cognitive writing theory, our taxonomy for scientific papers includes three
levels of categorization in order to trace the general writing flow and
identify the distinct writer activities embedded within each higher-level
process. ManuScript intends to provide a complete picture of the scholarly
writing process by capturing the linearity and non-linearity of writing
trajectory, such that writing assistants can provide stronger feedback and
suggestions on an end-to-end level. The collected writing trajectories are

We show that representations learned for a surrogate authorship prediction task are indeed sensitive to writing style.
As a consequence, authorship representations may be expected to be robust to certain kinds of data shift, such as topic drift over time.
Our findings may open the door to downstream applications that require stylistic representations, such as style transfer.

Authors writing documents imprint identifying information within their texts: vocabulary, registry, punctuation, misspellings, or even emoji usage.
Previous works use hand-crafted features or classification tasks to train their authorship models, leading to poor performance on out-of-domain authors.
We propose a contrastively trained model fit to learn textbfauthorship embeddings instead of semantics.
