Towards Automatic Evolution Tree Generation from Citation Graphs

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper introduces EvoTree, a staged framework for automatically generating evolution trees from citation graphs. It separates backbone learning from temporal refinement, using a graph-aware encoder and hierarchical clustering to build a stable taxonomy, then fine-tunes temporally to attach marginal papers under monotonic-path constraints, and finally labels concepts with an LLM without changing the topology. The authors release an annotated benchmark across 11 AI subfields and report that EvoTree outperforms baselines in NMI, citation-direction accuracy, concept purity, and marginal-paper detection.

Time-Aligned Evolving Concept Graphs for Scientific Relation Forecasting

The paper introduces a time‑aligned evolving concept graph framework that jointly models semantic and structural changes in scientific literature. By treating dated papers as shared update events, it reconstructs both semantic and structural states from the same publication history for each prediction time, and fuses these states at the pair level to forecast co‑occurrence, relation formation, and conditional relation type. Experiments on a large graph of 187,848 papers and 270,687 concepts show that refreshing context with graph updates boosts mean relation AUPRC by 16.6% and raises mean relation AUROC from 0.9290 to 0.9722.
