| Challenge: | In 2015 alone, about 100 manuscripts describing randomized controlled trials for medical interventions were published every day. |
| Approach: | They propose a corpus of 5,000 medical articles annotated with demarcations of text spans that describe the Patient population enrolled, the Interventions studied and to what they were Compared, and the Outcomes measured. |
| Outcome: | The proposed corpus includes 5,000 medical articles describing clinical randomized controlled trials. |

MSˆ2: Multi-Document Summarization of Medical Studies (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing datasets for multi-document summarization (MDS) are either in the general domain, such as WikiSum, or very small such as DUC 1 or TAC 2011 . Existing systems for summarizing biomedical literature take 1-2 years to complete . |
