‘Don’t Get Too Technical with Me’: A Discourse Structure-Based Framework for Automatic Science Journalism (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Science journalism is the production of journalistic content covering scientific topics that are not covered in the scientific literature. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a dataset to generate a scientific paper's tuples, a summary snippet and a novel technical framework to integrate a paper' s discourse structure with its metadata to guide generation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system outperforms baseline methods in elaborating a content plan meaningful for the target audience, simplifying the information selected, and producing a coherent final report in a layman’s style. |
