PubMed dataset for summarization

Dataset for summarization of long documents. Adapted from this repo . Note that original data are pre-tokenized so this dataset returns " ".join(text) and add "\n" for paragraphs. This dataset is compatible with the run_summarization.py script from Transformers if you add this line to the summarization_name_mapping variable:

"ccdv/pubmed-summarization": ("article", "abstract")

Data Fields

• id : paper id
• article : a string containing the body of the paper
• abstract : a string containing the abstract of the paper

Data Splits

This dataset has 3 splits: train , validation , and test . Token counts are white space based.

  abstract = "Neural abstractive summarization models have led to promising results in summarizing relatively short documents. We propose the first model for abstractive summarization of single, longer-form documents (e.g., research papers). Our approach consists of a new hierarchical encoder that models the discourse structure of a document, and an attentive discourse-aware decoder to generate the summary. Empirical results on two large-scale datasets of scientific papers show that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art models.",
