Software Citation Intent Classifier

The Software Citation Intent Classifier (soft-cite-intent-cls) can be used to predict the citation or "reference" intent behind a text reference or citation to a piece of software in an academic article.

Possible values include:

• used
• mentioned
• created
• other

For example, given the sentence: "The XYZ code and software, with an example input dataset and detailed instructions are available from GitHub (https://github.com/user/repo)" should be predicted as "created" as the authors are directly referencing their own created code.

The specific name of the code and software and username and repository have been removed for privacy.

In comparison, the sentence: "For the statistical analyses of the data in this study, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 (IBM Corp, Armonk, New York) was used" should be predicted as "used" as the authors are directly informing the reader that this is not their own software but rather software they used for analysis.

This was originally created during the CZI Software Impact Hackathon by Ana-Maria Istrate, Joshua Fisher, Xinyu Yang, Kara Moraw, Kai Li, Donghui Li, and Martin Klein.

Their original work can be found in the SoftwareCitationIntent Repository.

Eva Maxfield Brown recreated and uploaded this version of the model to Huggingface Hub for her own work, her scripts for recreating this model can be found in the grobid-soft-proc repository.
