Trainable Citation-enhanced Summarization of Scientific Articles

In order to cope with the growing number of relevant scientific publications to consider at a given time, automatic text summarization is a useful technique. However, summarizing scientific papers poses important challenges for the natural language processing community. In recent years a number of evaluation challenges have been proposed to address the problem of summarizing a scientific paper taking advantage of its citation network (i.e., the papers that cite the given paper).
