Who should I Collaborate with? A Comparative Study of Academia and
  Industry Research Collaboration in NLP
Hussain Sadiq Abuwala Bohan Zhang Mushi Wang
The goal of our research was to investigate the effects of collaboration
between academia and industry on Natural Language Processing (NLP). To do this,
we created a pipeline to extract affiliations and citations from NLP papers and
divided them into three categories: academia, industry, and hybrid
(collaborations between academia and industry). Our empirical analysis found
that there is a trend towards an increase in industry and academia-industry
collaboration publications and that these types of publications tend to have a
higher impact compared to those produced solely within academia.
