An Augmented reading interface for showing forward citations—i.e. papers which cite the present paper—as well as papers cited by this paper. What’s interesting about their approach is that they attempt to localize the “citance” (citing sentence): that is, to figure out what region of the present paper is being pointed to by the citing paper. If the model is confident enough, it’ll localize to a particular sentence; otherwise, to the nearest section header. Then the forward citation is displayed in the margins at that location. On click, a user can view information about the citing paper, the “citance”, the surrounding paragraph, the abstract, etc.

For an interface which elaborates traditional “reverse” inline citations, see also Chang, J. C., Zhang, A. X., Bragg, J., Head, A., Lo, K., Downey, D., & Weld, D. S. (2023).
