# Dataset for Classification of Sections of Academic Papers

A dataset mapping sections of academic papers to one of the following section types:

0: Introduction \
1: Background \
2: Methodology \
3: Experiments and Results \
4: Conclusion 


The dataset was collected by taking the [GROBID](https://github.com/kermitt2/grobid) parses of academic papers in the [ACL-OCL](https://huggingface.co/datasets/WINGNUS/ACL-OCL/tree/main) dataset and matching the section headings to one of the synonyms of each section type. Sections that did not have a match were disregarded. The following synonyms are used:

| Section Type | Synonyms |
|------------|------------|
| Introduction | Introduction |
| Background | Background <br> Related Work <br> Historical Review |
| Methodology | Methodology <br> Method <br> Algorithm <br> Properties |
| Experiments and Resutls | Experiments <br> Results <br> Experimental Design <br> Empirical Evaluation <br> Experiments and Analysis <br> Ablation Studies <br> Evaluation |
| Conclusion | Conclusion <br> Conclusion & Discussion <br> Discussion and Conclusions <br> Conclusion and Outlook <br> Further Work <br> Discussions and Future Directions |
