ABSTRACT
While classical information retrieval and recommendation can provide users effective information access, for scientific documents, i.e., scientific publications, however, understanding the content of scientific publications remains daunting, i.e., Information Access -- Information Understanding. In order to help students and junior scholars better understand the essence of scientific topics discussed in scholarly papers, we propose an innovative approach to recommend high-quality open educational resources (OER), such as presentation slides, tutorials, video lectures, project source code, and Wikipedia pages, collected from a number of social media systems. The proposed new system -- OER-based Collaborative PDF Reader (OCPR) -- captures students' emerging implicit/explicit information needs when reading a scientific paper, while recommending OERs to assist them better understand the target paper.

Scientific Information Understanding via Open Educational Resources (OER)
SIGIR '15: Proceedings of the 38th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information RetrievalScientific publication retrieval/recommendation has been investigated in the past decade. However, to the best of our knowledge, few efforts have been made to help junior scholars and graduate students to understand and consume the essence of those ...
Community-based Cyberreading for Information Understanding
SIGIR '16: Proceedings of the 39th International ACM SIGIR conference on Research and Development in Information RetrievalAlthough the content in scientific publications is increasingly challenging, it is necessary to investigate another important problem, that of scientific information understanding. For this proposed problem, we investigate novel methods to assist ...
A naive bayes approach for converging learning objects with open educational resources
Open educational resources (OER) are digitised material freely available to the students and self learners. Many institutions had initiated in incorporating these OERs in their higher educational system, to improve the quality of teaching and learning. ...
