Abstract

The ACL Anthology Network (AAN) is a comprehensive manually curated networked database of citations and collaborations in the field of Computational Linguistics. Each citation edge in AAN is associated with one or more citing sentences. A citing sentence is one that appears in a scientific article and contains an explicit reference to another article. In this paper, we shed the light on the usefulness of AAN citing sentences for understanding research trends and summarizing previous discoveries and contributions. We also propose and motivate several different uses and applications of citing sentences.
