Amplifying scientific paper's abstract by leveraging data-weighted reconstruction

摘要

In this paper, we focus on the problem of automatically generating amplified scientific paper's abstract which represents the most influential aspects of scientific paper. The influential aspects can be illustrated by the target scientific paper's abstract and citation sentences discussing the target paper, which are provided in papers citing the target paper. In this paper, we extract representative sentences through data-weighted reconstruction ap-proach(DWR) by jointly leveraging target scientific paper's abstract and citation sentences' content and structure. In our study, we make two-folded contributions. Firstly, sentence's weight was learned by exploiting regularization for ranking on heterogeneous bibliographic network. Specially, Sentences-similar-Sentences relationship was identified by language modeling-based approach and added to the bibliographic network. Secondly, a data-weighted reconstruction objective function is optimized to select the most representative sentences which reconstructs the original sentence set with minimum error. In this process, sentences' weight plays a critical role. Experimental evaluation over real dataset confirms the effectiveness of our approach.
