Abstract: Citation contexts, whether in the form of full citing sentences or text within a fixed window around the citation, have been widely used in various citation analysis applications. However, the absence of precise techniques to identify the exact span of text describing citations forces these applications to rely on extended texts as citation contexts. In this paper, we introducednew features combined with baseline features to accurately identify text that characterizes citations. Specifically, we utilizeda Conditional Random Field (CRF)sequence classifier to categorize the surrounding text of citations as relevant or irrelevant. The integration of these features enhances the precision, recall, and F-measure scores for the Relevant (R) class. Although the average values of all measures are similar to those obtained with baseline features alone. Our approach significantly improves the extraction of relevant text.
