COMPARE: A Taxonomy and Dataset of Comparison Discussions in Peer Reviews
share
Comparing research papers is a conventional method to demonstrate progress in experimental research. We present COMPARE, a taxonomy and a dataset of comparison discussions in peer reviews of research papers in the domain of experimental deep learning. From a thorough observation of a large set of review sentences, we build a taxonomy of categories in comparison discussions and present a detailed annotation scheme to analyze this. Overall, we annotate 117 reviews covering 1,800 sentences. We experiment with various methods to identify comparison sentences in peer reviews and report a maximum F1 Score of 0.49. We also pretrain two language models specifically on ML, NLP, and CV paper abstracts and reviews to learn informative representations of peer reviews. The annotated dataset and the pretrained models are available at https://github.com/shruti-singh/COMPARE .
