Directly learning features from the point cloud has become an active research direction in 3D understanding. Existing learning-based methods usually construct local regions from the point cloud and extract the corresponding features. However, most of these processes do not adequately take the spatial distribution of the point cloud into account, limiting the ability to perceive fine-grained patterns. We design a novel Local Spatial Aware (LSA) layer, which can learn to generate Spatial Distribution Weights (SDWs) hierarchically based on the spatial relationship in local region for spatial independent operations, to establish the relationship between these operations and spatial distribution, thus capturing the local geometric structure sensitively.We further propose the LSANet, which is based on LSA layer, aggregating the spatial information with associated features in each layer of the network better in network design.The experiments show that our LSANet can achieve on par or better performance than the state-of-the-art methods when evaluating on the challenging benchmark datasets. For example, our LSANet can achieve 93.2 accuracy on ModelNet40 dataset using only 1024 points, significantly higher than other methods under the same conditions.

Volumetric and Multi-view approach: Volumetric approach converts the point sets to a regular 3D grid where the 3D convolution can be applied @cite_24 @cite_19 . However, the 3D convolution usually introduces high computation cost, and the volumetric representations are often inefficient due to the sparse property of the point sets. Some existing works @cite_25 @cite_21 @cite_4 @cite_6 @cite_15 aim at improving computational performance. For instance, some representations for deep learning with sparse 3D data are proposed such as Octree @cite_21 , Kd-Tree @cite_15 . @cite_4 , the authors use a feature-centric voting scheme to implement a fast 3D convolution. While in @cite_6 , a new sparse convolutional operation is introduced to perform efficient 3D convolution on sparse data. Multi-view approaches convert the 3D point sets to a collection of 2D views so that the popular 2D convolutional operations can be applied on the converted data @cite_3 @cite_8 . As an example, the multi-view CNN @cite_3 constructs the CNN for each view, and a view pooling procedure is used to aggregate the extracted features of each view.

Abstract Documents in computer-readable form can be used to provide information about other documents, i.e. those they cite. To do this efficiently requires procedures for computer recognition of citing statements. This is not easy, especially for multi-sentence citing statements. Computer recognition procedures have been developed which are accurate to the following extent: 73 of the words in statements selected by computer procedures as being citing statements are words which are correctly attributable to the corresponding documents. The retrieval effectiveness of computer-recognized citing statements was tested in the following way. First, for eight retrieval requests in inorganiic chemistry, average recall by search of Chemical Abstracts Service indexing and Chemical Abstracts abstract text words was found to be 50 . Words from citing statements referring to the papers to be retrieved were then added to the index terms and abstract words as additional access points, and searching was repeated. Average recall increased to 70 . Only words from citing statements published within a year of the cited papers were used. The retrieval effect of citing statement words alone (published within a year) without index or abstract terms was the following: average recall was 40 . When just the words of the titles of the cited papers were added to those citing statement words, average recall increased to 50 . In a document network such as a citation network of scientific documents, web-logs, etc., the content produced by authors exhibits their interest in certain topics. In addition some authors influence other authors' interests. In this work, we propose to model the influence of cited authors along with the interests of citing authors. Moreover, we hypothesize that apart from the citations present in documents, the context surrounding the citation mention provides extra topical information about the cited authors. However, associating terms in the context to the cited authors remains an open problem. We propose novel document generation schemes that incorporate the context while simultaneously modeling the interests of citing authors and influence of the cited authors. Our experiments show significant improvements over baseline models for various evaluation criteria such as link prediction between document and cited author, and quantitatively explaining unseen text. A citing sentence is one that appears in a scientific article and cites previous work. Citing sentences have been studied and used in many applications. For example, they have been used in scientific paper summarization, automatic survey generation, paraphrase identification, and citation function classification. Citing sentences that cite multiple papers are common in scientific writing. This observation should be taken into consideration when using citing sentences in applications. For instance, when a citing sentence is used in a summary of a scientific paper, only the fragments of the sentence that are relevant to the summarized paper should be included in the summary. In this paper, we present and compare three different approaches for identifying the fragments of a citing sentence that are related to a given target reference. Our methods are: word classification, sequence labeling, and segment classification. Our experiments show that segment classification achieves the best results. Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to suggest an alternative to the widely used Times Cited criterion for analysing citation networks. The approach involves taking account of the natures of the papers that cite a given paper, so as to differentiate between papers that attract the same number of citations.Design methodology approach – ArticleRank is an algorithm that has been derived from Google's PageRank algorithm to measure the influence of journal articles. ArticleRank is applied to two datasets – a citation network based on an early paper on webometrics, and a self‐citation network based on the 19 most cited papers in the Journal of Documentation – using citation data taken from the Web of Knowledge database.Findings – ArticleRank values provide a different ranking of a set of papers from that provided by the corresponding Times Cited values, and overcomes the inability of the latter to differentiate between papers with the same numbers of citations. The difference in rankings between Times Cited ...
