Lamia Salsabil (@webscidl.bsky.social 🐸) begins her #jcdl2026 presentation, "End-to-End Contextualized URK Extraction from Scholarly Papers" saying there hasn't been a systematic study for robust methods for extracting URLs w/ their context.

Our OSTrails paper is among the Top 5 candidates for the TPDL 2026 Best Paper Award! Tomasz Miksa presented our work on automated assessment of machine-actionable DMPs. If you found it valuable, we’d be delighted to have your support! 📄 bit.ly/4AsVxv4 #OSTrails #TPDL2026

"Nobody Truly Agrees on Sentiment: Humans, Bespoke Tools, and LLMs Struggle with Social Media Texts" TL;DR: bespoke sentiment tools perform terribly on social media. LLMs are better, but still not as good as you'd expect. @himarshaj.bsky.social @webscidl.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2610.10318

“Sleeping giants wake up” @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social #tpdl2026
Takeaways: “Credit can travel. Nothing is created. Foundations become visible” The idea extends to AI: “How should LLMs cite data so as to ensure verifiability, provenance tracking, & fair credit attribution to data creators & curators?” @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social #tpdl2026
#TPDL2026 Main Conference - Day 2 kicks off with the second keynote 🎤 “Transitive Credit Allocation for Heterogeneous and Dynamic Scholarly Graphs” By Gianmaria Silvello, Professor at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padua @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social
For example: Paper A → cites Paper B → cites Paper C. A citation to Paper A can pass some credit through to Paper B and then Paper C. @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social
Distributing credit can help “recognize the work of the giants”, foundational works that later research builds upon. @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social #tpdl2026
#TPDL2026 Main Conference - Day 2 kicks off with the second keynote 🎤 “Transitive Credit Allocation for Heterogeneous and Dynamic Scholarly Graphs” By Gianmaria Silvello, Professor at the Department of Information Engineering, University of Padua @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social
“A work should share its credit with the works it builds on” Credit doesn’t just stop at a citation; it can flow through the scholarly graph, recognizing the works that contributed along the way. @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social
A few captures from the #TPDL2026 social event yesterday evening 📸🇵🇹 A tour of the Faro Museum, followed by a walk through the beautiful Old Town of Faro. A lovely way to wrap up the day, made extra special with our little one by our side 💕 @webscidl.bsky.social, @skandasiva.bsky.social
