CrossMath: Towards Cross-lingual Math Information Retrieval
ICTIR '24: Proceedings of the 2024 ACM SIGIR International Conference on Theory of Information RetrievalPages 101–105https://doi.org/10.1145/3664190.3672531Current math search engines and test collections are primarily designed for the English language, limiting their accessibility and inclusivity. This paper introduces cross-lingual math information retrieval (CLMIR) to overcome this limitation, focusing ...

Clarifying Questions in Math Information Retrieval
ICTIR '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM SIGIR International Conference on Theory of Information RetrievalPages 149–158https://doi.org/10.1145/3578337.3605123One of the challenges of math information retrieval is the inherent ambiguity of mathematical notation. The use of various notations, symbols, and conventions can lead to ambiguities in math search queries, potentially causing confusion and errors. ...

Learning to Rank for Mathematical Formula Retrieval
SIGIR '21: Proceedings of the 44th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information RetrievalPages 952–961https://doi.org/10.1145/3404835.3462956In Mathematical Information Retrieval (MIR), formulae can be used in a query to match other similar formulae in documents. However, due to the structural complexity of formulae, specialized processing is needed for formula matching. Formulae may be ...

MIaS: Math-Aware Retrieval in Digital Mathematical Libraries
CIKM '18: Proceedings of the 27th ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge ManagementPages 1923–1926https://doi.org/10.1145/3269206.3269233Digital mathematical libraries (DMLs) such as arXiv, Numdam, and EuDML contain mainly documents from STEM fields, where mathematical formulae are often more important than text for understanding. Conventional information retrieval (IR) systems are ...
