ACL-rlg: A Dataset for Reading List Generation
About
ACL-rlg is the largest dataset of expert-crafted reading lists, containing 85 reading lists manually extracted from tutorial papers submitted to ACL-related conferences between 2020 and 2024. Data was sourced from ACL Anthology and cross-referenced with Semantic Scholar, enabling the extraction of metadata for articles beyond the ACL collection.

abstract = "Familiarizing oneself with a new scientific field and its existing literature can be daunting due to the large amount of available articles. Curated lists of academic references, or reading lists, compiled by experts, offer a structured way to gain a comprehensive overview of a domain or a specific scientific challenge. In this work, we introduce ACL-rlg, the largest open expert-annotated reading list dataset. We also provide multiple baselines for evaluating reading list generation and formally define it as a retrieval task. Our qualitative study highlights that traditional scholarly search engines and indexing methods perform poorly on this task, and GPT-4o, despite showing better results, exhibits signs of potential data contamination."
