Abstract

Automatic academic paper rating (AAPR) remains a difficult but useful task to automatically predict whether to accept or reject a paper. Having found more task-specific structure features of academic papers, we present a modularized hierarchical attention network (MHAN) to predict paper quality. MHAN uses a three-level hierarchical attention network to shorten the sequence for each level. In the network, the modularized parameter distinguishes the semantics of functional chapters. And a label-smoothing mechanism is used as a loss function to avoid inappropriate labeling. Compared with MHCNN and plain HAN on an AAPR dataset, MHAN achieves a state-of-the-art accuracy of 65.33%. Ablation experiments show that the proposed methods are effective.
