Given the plethora of documents, it can be highly useful to have a system which can automatically predict relevant citations, for this could (1) aid authors in citing rele-vant, useful sources which they may otherwise not know about; and (2) aid readers in finding useful documents which otherwise might not have been discovered, due to the documents' being unpopular or poorly cited by many authors.
we are interested in citation prediction -that is, we aim to predict which sources each report document cites.
