• Abstract summary: We introduce a new task of disentangled paper summarization, which seeks to generate separate summaries for the paper contributions and the context of the work. We extend the S2ORC corpus of academic articles by adding disentangled "contribution" and "context" reference labels. We propose a comprehensive automatic evaluation protocol which reports the relevance, novelty, and disentanglement of generated outputs.

• Abstract: With thousands of academic articles shared on a daily basis, it has become increasingly difficult to keep up with the latest scientific findings. To overcome this problem, we introduce a new task of disentangled paper summarization, which seeks to generate separate summaries for the paper contributions and the context of the work, making it easier to identify the key findings shared in articles. For this purpose, we extend the S2ORC corpus of academic articles, which spans a diverse set of domains ranging from economics to psychology, by adding disentangled "contribution" and "context" reference labels. Together with the dataset, we introduce and analyze three baseline approaches: 1) a unified model controlled by input code prefixes, 2) a model with separate generation heads specialized in generating the disentangled outputs, and 3) a training strategy that guides the model using additional supervision coming from inbound and outbound citations. We also propose a comprehensive automatic evaluation protocol which reports the relevance, novelty, and disentanglement of generated outputs. Through a human study involving expert annotators, we show that in 79%, of cases our new task is considered more helpful than traditional scientific paper summarization.

  We find that existing approaches alter the political opinions and stances of news articles in more than 50% of summaries. We propose P3SUM, a diffusion model-based summarization approach controlled by political perspective classifiers. Experiments on three news summarization datasets demonstrate that P3SUM outperforms state-of-the-art summarization systems.

  The related work section is an important component of a scientific paper, which highlights the contribution of the target paper in the context of the reference papers. Most of the existing related work section generation methods rely on extracting off-the-shelf sentences. We propose an abstractive target-aware related work generator (TAG), which can generate related work sections consisting of new sentences.

  This paper takes articles of the ACL conference as the corpus to identify the structure function of academic articles. We employ the traditional machine learning models and deep learning models to construct the classifiers based on various feature input. Inspired by (2), this paper introduces contextual information into the deep learning models and achieved significant results.

  Large scale analysis of source code, and in particular scientific source code, holds the promise of better understanding the data science process. We propose a novel weakly supervised transformer-based architecture for computing joint representations of code from both abstract syntax trees and surrounding natural language comments. We show that our model, leveraging only easily-available weak supervision, achieves a 38% increase in accuracy over expert-supplieds and outperforms a suite of baselines.
