Title: A review on the novelty measurements of academic papers
Authors: Yi Zhao, Chengzhi Zhang,
Abstract summary: This review aims to offer a systematic analysis of novelty measurements for scientific papers. We compare differences between scientific novelty and four similar concepts, including originality, scientific innovation, creativity, and scientific breakthrough. We surveyed the approaches employed in validating novelty measures and examined the current tools and datasets associated with these measures.

Abstract: Novelty evaluation is vital for the promotion and management of innovation. With the advancement of information techniques and the open data movement, some progress has been made in novelty measurements. Tracking and reviewing novelty measures provides a data-driven way to assess contributions, progress, and emerging directions in the science field. As academic papers serve as the primary medium for the dissemination, validation, and discussion of scientific knowledge, this review aims to offer a systematic analysis of novelty measurements for scientific papers. We began by comparing the differences between scientific novelty and four similar concepts, including originality, scientific innovation, creativity, and scientific breakthrough. Next, we reviewed the types of scientific novelty. Then, we classified existing novelty measures according to data types and reviewed the measures for each type. Subsequently, we surveyed the approaches employed in validating novelty measures and examined the current tools and datasets associated with these measures. Finally, we proposed several open issues for future studies.

Measuring publication relatedness using controlled vocabularies [0.0]
Controlled vocabularies provide a promising basis for measuring relatedness. There exists no comprehensive and direct test of their accuracy and suitability for different types of research questions. This paper reviews existing measures, develops a new measure, and benchmarks the measures using TREC Genomics data as a ground truth of topics.

Recent Few-Shot Object Detection Algorithms: A Survey with Performance Comparison [54.357707168883024]
Few-Shot Object Detection (FSOD) mimics the humans' ability of learning to learn. FSOD intelligently transfers the learned generic object knowledge from the common heavy-tailed, to the novel long-tailed object classes. We give an overview of FSOD, including the problem definition, common datasets, and evaluation protocols.
