Linking Theories and Methods in Cognitive Sciences via Joint Embedding of the Scientific Literature: The Example of Cognitive Control. (arXiv:2203.11016v2 [cs.AI] UPDATED)

Traditionally, theory and practice of Cognitive Control are linked via
literature reviews by human domain experts. This approach, however, is
inadequate to track the ever-growing literature. It may also be biased, and
yield redundancies and confusion.

Here we present an alternative approach. We performed automated text analyses
on a large body of scientific texts to create a joint representation of tasks
and constructs. More specifically, 385,705 scientific abstracts were first
mapped into an embedding space using a transformers-based language model. …
