Workshop for Artificial intelligence for Scientific Publications (WASP)
The surge in scientific paper publications has greatly contributed to scientific advancement. To navigate this vast amount of data and facilitate discovery, incorporating the metadata, full text, and citations into search engines is crucial. A popular and open example is the Astrophysics Data System, which offers many ways to discover research articles of interest within a curated collection of over 26 million records. However, navigating through this vast amount of data presents considerable challenges. To overcome them, extracting structured and semantically meaningful information from scientific publications becomes imperative. We have introduced the WASP workshop to provide a discussion forum for novel problems and challenges associated with mining scholarly texts from scientific papers and related artefacts.
Note on WASP vs. WIESP
The 2022 and 2023 editions of the workshop were named the Workshop on Information Extraction from Scientific Publications (WIESP). The name of the workshop was changed to the Workshop for Artificial intelligence for Scientific Publications (WASP) in 2025, in recognition of the growing role of artificial intelligence in these fields.
