ChatPD: An LLM-driven Paper-Dataset Networking System

Scientific research heavily depends on suitable datasets for method validation, but existing academic platforms with dataset management like PapersWithCode suffer from inefficiencies in their manual workflow. To overcome this bottleneck, we present a system, called ChatPD, that utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) to automate dataset information extraction from academic papers and construct a structured paper-dataset network. Our system consists of three key modules: $\mathit{\text{paper}}\mathit{\text{collection}}$, $\mathit{\text{dataset}}\mathit{\text{information}}\mathit{\text{extraction}}$, and $\mathit{\text{dataset}}\mathit{\text{entity}}\mathit{\text{resolution}}$ to construct paper-dataset networks. Specifically, we propose a $\mathit{\text{Graph}}\mathit{\text{Completion}}\mathit{\text{and}}\mathit{\text{Inference}}$ strategy to map dataset descriptions to their corresponding entities. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that ChatPD not only outperforms the existing platform PapersWithCode in dataset usage extraction but also achieves about 90% precision and recall in entity resolution tasks. Moreover, we have deployed ChatPD to continuously extract which datasets are used in papers, and provide a dataset discovery service, such as task-specific dataset queries and similar dataset recommendations. We open source ChatPD and the current paper-dataset network on this [GitHub repository]{https://github.com/ChatPD-web/ChatPD}.
