Title of Research: Text summarization of Long Documents

I performed automatic summarization of scientific paper. Fast-paced publications in scientific domains

motivate us to develop automatic summarizers for scientific articles. Previous work for text
summarization in scientific domain mainly focused on the content of the input document, but seldom
considering its citation network. we redefine the task of scientific papers summarization by utilizing
their citation graph and propose a citation graph-based summarization model which can capture the
relationship between citing and cited. In addition, I extend the original dataset to consider citation
sentences and citation graph.
The results did not help ROUGE comparing with existing methods. I plan to continue this research after my study
abroad.

Title of Research: Text summarization of Long Documents
Long documents, such as scientific papers and legal documents, are time-consuming to read, let alone to
comprehend. Generating abstractive summaries can help readers quickly grasp the main topics. Neural-based
models achieve high performance for short news summarization. However, when summarizing long
documents, these models have problems, such as high computational costs and models with attention
functions that do not scale well. I explore approaches to address these challenges on long document
summarization.
