ReviewRobot: Explainable Paper Review Generation based on Knowledge Synthesis
share
To assist human review process, we build a novel ReviewRobot to automatically assign a review score and write comments for multiple categories. A good review needs to be knowledgeable, namely that the comments should be constructive and informative to help improve the paper; and explainable by providing detailed evidence. ReviewRobot achieves these goals via three steps: (1) We perform domain-specific Information Extraction to construct a knowledge graph (KG) from the target paper under review, a related work KG from the papers cited by the target paper, and a background KG from a large collection of previous papers in the domain. (2) By comparing these three KGs we predict a review score and detailed structured knowledge as evidence for each review category. (3) We carefully select and generalize human review sentences into templates, and apply these templates to transform the review scores and evidence into natural language comments. Experimental results show that our review score predictor reaches 71.4-100 41.7 constructive, and better than human-written ones 20 ReviewRobot can serve as an assistant for paper reviewers, program chairs and authors.
