Mathematics is a highly specialized domain with its own unique set of challenges that has seen limited study in natural language processing. However, mathematics is used in a wide variety of fields and multidisciplinary research in many different domains often relies on an understanding of mathematical concepts. To aid researchers coming from other fields, we develop a prototype system for searching for and defining mathematical concepts in context, focusing on the field of category theory. This system, Parmesan, depends on natural language processing components including concept extraction, relation extraction, definition extraction, and entity linking. In developing this system, we show that existing techniques cannot be applied directly to the category theory domain, and suggest hybrid techniques that do perform well, though we expect the system to evolve over time. We also provide two cleaned mathematical corpora that power the prototype system, which are based on journal articles and wiki pages, respectively. The corpora have been annotated with dependency trees, lemmas, and part-of-speech tags.
