A Study of Human Summaries of Scientific Articles
Researchers and students face an explosion of newly published papers which
may be relevant to their work. This led to a trend of sharing human summaries
of scientific papers. We analyze the summaries shared in one of these platforms
Shortscience.org. The goal is to characterize human summaries of scientific
papers, and use some of the insights obtained to improve and adapt existing
automatic summarization systems to the domain of scientific papers
ShortScience.org - Reproducing Intuition
We present ShortScience.org, a platform for post-publication discussion of
research papers. On ShortScience.org, the research community can read and write
summaries of papers in order to increase accessible and reproducibility.
Summaries contain the perspective and insight of other readers, why they liked
or disliked it, and their attempt to demystify complicated sections.
ShortScience.org has over 600 paper summaries, all of which are searchable and
organized by paper, conference, and year. Many regular contributors are expert
machine learning researchers. We present statistics from the last year of
operation, user demographics, and responses from a usage survey. Results
indicate that ShortScience benefits students most, by providing short,
understandable summaries reflecting expert opinions.Comment: To appear in International Conference on Machine Learning 2017
