Mathematical Symbol Definition Extraction

Mathematical symbol definition extraction aims to automatically identify and link mathematical symbols within scientific text to their corresponding definitions, improving accessibility and information retrieval in scholarly literature. Current research focuses on developing robust methods, often employing graph neural networks or large language models, to handle the complexities of mathematical notation and sentence structures, including resolving coordination and ambiguity. These advancements are crucial for enhancing scholarly reading interfaces and enabling more effective cross-disciplinary searches based on mathematical concepts, ultimately facilitating scientific discovery and collaboration.
