The second Maria de Maeztu Strategic Research Program (CEX2021-001195-M) of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) takes place between 2023 and 2026. The website for this program is under construction. You can find some details in this news.

The first María de Maeztu Strategic Research Program (MDM-2015-0502) took place between January 2016 and June 2020. It was focused on data-driven knowledge extraction, boosting synergistic research initiatives across our different research areas.

Scientific literature records the research process with a standardized structure and provides the clues to track the progress in a scientific field. Understanding its internal structure and content is of paramount importance for natural language processing (NLP) technologies. To meet this requirement, we have developed a multi-layered annotated corpus of scientific papers in the domain of Computer Graphics. Sentences are annotated with respect to their role in the argumentative structure of the discourse. The purpose of each citation is specified. Special features of the scientific discourse such as advantages and disadvantages are identified. In addition, a grade is allocated to each sentence according to its relevance for being included in a summary. To the best of our knowledge, this complex, multi-layered collection of annotations and metadata characterizing a set of research papers had never been grouped together before in one corpus and therefore constitutes a newer, richer resource with respect to those currently available in the field.
