BioGen: Generating Biography Summary under Table Guidance on Wikipedia (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for summarizing text have not captured the salient information from an article. |
| Approach: | They propose a table-guided abstractive biography summarization that utilizes factual tables to capture important information and generate a summary of a biography. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is the first large-scale biography summarization dataset with tables. |

| Approach: | They constructed a scientific summarization dataset from MEDLINE articles from the PubMed archive to address this problem. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms existing models on news article summarization datasets and shows that it is more efficient to extract the top few lines. |
Summarizing, Simplifying, and Synthesizing Medical Evidence using GPT-3 (with Varying Success) (2023.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models are capable of producing high quality summaries of general domain news articles in few- and zero-shot settings, but it is unclear whether they are similarly capable in more specialized domains such as biomedicine. |
| Approach: | They use GPT-3 to generate single- and multi-document summaries of biomedical articles, given no supervision, using a set of annotations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms fully supervised models in generic news summarization, but struggles to synthesize evidence across multiple documents. |

| Challenge: | Recent work on Wikipedia page generation focuses on generating the initial leading paragraph of a page, while recent pretrained language models improve upon both extractive and abstractive steps of previous models. |
| Approach: | They propose a pretrained language model that can be combined to generate Wikipedia-style summaries with sections using 100 reference human-collected surveys. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach is compared with existing methods with 100 human-collected surveys. |
Citance-Contextualized Summarization of Scientific Papers (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current automatic summarization approaches generate abstracts, but abstracts do not show relationship between paper and references. |
| Approach: | They propose a contextualized summarization approach that generates an informative summary . they extract and model the citances of a paper, retrieve relevant passages from cited papers, and generate abstractive summaries tailored to each citance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method extracts and models the citances of a paper, retrieves relevant passages from cited papers, and generates abstractive summaries tailored to each citance. |
Towards Comprehensive Description Generation from Factual Attribute-value Tables (P19-1)
