SAPIENTA PROJECT

One of the outputs of the project is to use automatically annotated CoreSC to create automatic summaries. The idea of extractive summaries for papers is not new but the desirability of such summaries for biomedical papers has been recently highlighted and little work has been done in this area. We have made use of the distribution of CoreSC categories in abstracts to create automatic summaries which reflect the content of the paper and the cohesion of abstracts. The summaries we generated automatically have been evaluated in a question answering task by chemistry experts. Publication pending but more information can be obtained by emailing liakata-At-ebi-dot-ac-dot-uk.
