More Computational Resources Do Not Ensure Higher Scholarly Impact: Evidence from Leading NLP Conference Papers

Computational resources are increasingly central to NLP research, but how closely reported GPU capability aligns with scholarly impact remains unclear. We analyze 13,921 ACL, EMNLP, and NAACL main-conference papers published between 2020 and 2025, using GPU resources as our operational measure of computational resources. From full texts, we extract GPU models and counts, standardize each paper's largest reported configuration into a comparable hardware-capability measure, and link these data to citation, award, topic, and institutional metadata. GPU reporting became more common but remained incomplete, while reported capability increased mainly through newer hardware generations and medium-scale multi-GPU configurations. Resource concentration substantially exceeded impact concentration: the annual top 20% of GPU-quantifiable papers accounted for 83.9%-89.9% of reported GPU capability, but only 27%-32% of citations and 20%-33% of paper awards. In adjusted models, a tenfold increase in aggregate reported GPU capability was associated with a 3.52-percentage-point increase in within-NLP topic-year citation percentile, but increased model R^2 by only 0.0042. GPU count showed more consistent positive associations with citation and award outcomes than newer hardware generation. Overall, reported GPU resources are associated with scholarly impact but provide little standalone explanation of research influence.

SciNLP: A Domain-Specific Benchmark for Full-Text Scientific Entity and Relation Extraction in NLP

Structured information extraction from scientific literature is crucial for capturing core concepts and emerging trends in specialized fields. While existing datasets aid model development, most focus on specific publication sections due to domain complexity and the high cost of annotating scientific texts. To address this limitation, we introduce SciNLP - a specialized benchmark for full-text entity and relation extraction in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) domain. The dataset comprises 60 manually annotated full-text NLP publications, covering 6,409 entities and 1,648 relations. Compared to existing research, SciNLP is the first dataset providing full-text annotations of entities and their relationships in the NLP domain. To validate the effectiveness of SciNLP, we conducted comparative experiments with similar datasets and evaluated the performance of state-of-the-art supervised models on this dataset. Results reveal varying extraction capabilities of existing models across academic texts of different lengths. Cross-comparisons with existing datasets show that SciNLP achieves significant performance improvements on certain baseline models. Using models trained on SciNLP, we implemented automatic construction of a fine-grained knowledge graph for the NLP domain. Our KG has an average node degree of 3.3 per entity, indicating rich semantic topological information that enhances downstream applications. The dataset is publicly available at: https://github.com/AKADDC/SciNLP.
