Key Takeaways
  1. 1 We further investigate the distribution of F1-score from the BERTScore evaluation.
  2. 2 A great progress in both extractive and abstractive document summarization is achieved due to the benefit of the sequence-to-sequence structure.
  3. 3 Zhao et al. apply graph structure and consider the discourse relationship between sentences rather than using an encoder-decoder structure, and text compression is implemented in the final stage to reduce redundancy.
  4. 4 Their model is designed for multi-document summarization in the news domain, and we extend their SummPip to single-document settings for scientific long articles.

Introduction

Text summarization automatically generates a fluent and coherent summary containing salient information from source documents. Several large datasets have been presented to meet the requirements of modern data-driven methods.

Most existing state-of-the-art summarization systems target news or simple documents and are less adequate for summarizing scientific work due to length and complexity.

Those summarization systems cannot provide sufficient information conveyed in scientific papers.

Important Note

We collect 530 summaries in total for abstractive experiments as one paper cannot be parsed by Science-parse.

Important Note

Those summarization systems cannot provide sufficient information conveyed in scientific papers.

Research Question

We further investigate the distribution of F1-score from the BERTScore evaluation.

Methodology

Most datasets are for the generic domain, but few corpora are available from task-specific domains. A variety of works focus on obtaining sentence representation from a pretrained language model on the generic domain, while less attention is paid to task-specific domains.

Study Design

Word2Vec is used in SummPip to capture contextualized relationships, but this embedding method cannot solve the polysemous problem.

The above works help facilitate workload in the generic domain rather than the task-specific domain.

Important Note

Word2Vec is used in SummPip to capture contextualized relationships, but this embedding method cannot solve the polysemous problem.

Important Note

There is enough work for generic domain while the attention paid for task-specific domain is far from enough, therefore we appeal to researchers for making more efforts on task-specific domain in their further research.

Results & Findings

Text summarization involves extractive approaches that extract salient sentences and abstractive approaches that produce new sentences based on extracted information. The Scholarly Document Processing workshop appeals to researchers to design a summarization system that generates relatively long summaries for scientific work.

  • Text summarization involves extractive approaches that extract salient sentences and abstractive approaches that produce new sentences based on extracted information.
  • The Scholarly Document Processing workshop appeals to researchers to design a summarization system that generates relatively long summaries for scientific work.
  • Liu and Lapata present a novel document-level encoder based on BERT for both extractive and abstractive summarization.
  • The lower transformer represents adjacent sentences and the higher layer with self-attention mechanism represents multi-sentence discourse in their model structure.
  • Our model modifies the multi-document summarization pipeline for news to a single-document summarizer for scholarly documents and introduces two new steps to control summary length and.
Important Note

Term frequency-inverse document frequency is widely used in traditional NLP, but it cannot capture semantic information and contextual relationships between sentences.

Practical Applications

MMR is a query-biased approach and we chose the title as query in our implementation, thus the potential reason for worse performance may be the query we chose is not effective enough.

Related Work

This section reviews recent advancements in text summarization systems, particularly those leveraging deep neural networks. It contrasts extractive and abstractive summarization approaches, noting the strengths and weaknesses of each. The section also discusses the limitations of existing models and how SciSummPip extends previous work to better suit scientific articles.

Dataset Pre-processing

The dataset used for training consists of 2236 scientific papers, with a breakdown of 1705 for extractive and 531 for abstractive methods. The reference summaries are generated from conference videos and researcher blogs. The section details the parsing and processing of papers into a structured format for analysis.

Figures Explained

Figure 1: The histogram distribution of F1-score evaluated by BERTScore metric for each model reported in Table5. X-axis indicates data range of F1-score and Y-axis indicates the frequency of the data in each bin. In order to ensure the bin data range for each distribution is same, we set the data range of each bin as 0.005 so that the parameter, bins, is set as int(data range of F 1 -score/0.005).
