MRC-Sum: An MRC framework for extractive summarization of academic articles in natural sciences and medicine

Extractive summarization for academic articles in natural sciences and medicine has attracted attention for a long time. However, most existing extractive summarization models often process academic articles with sentence classification models, which are hard to produce comprehensive summaries. To address this issue, we explore a new view to solve the extractive summarization of academic articles in natural sciences and medicine by taking it as a question-answering process. We propose a novel framework, MRC-Sum, where the extractive summarization for academic articles in natural sciences and medicine is cast as an MRC (Machine Reading Comprehension) task. To instantiate MRC-Sum, article-summary pairs in the summarization datasets are firstly reconstructed into (Question, Answer, Context) triples in the MRC task. Several questions are designed to cover the main aspects (e.g. Background, Method, Result, Conclusion) of the articles in natural sciences and medicine. A novel strategy is proposed to solve the problem of the non-existence of the ground truth answer spans. Then MRC-Sum is trained on the reconstructed datasets and large-scale pre-trained models. During the inference stage, four answer spans of the predefined questions are given by MRC-Sum and concatenated to form the final summary for each article. Experiments on three publicly available benchmarks, i.e., the Covid, PubMed, and arXiv datasets, demonstrate the effectiveness of MRC-Sum. Specifically, MRC-Sum outperforms advanced extractive summarization baselines on the Covid dataset and achieves competitive results on the PubMed and arXiv datasets. We also propose a novel metric, COMPREHS, to automatically evaluate the comprehensiveness of the system summaries for academic articles in natural sciences and medicine. Abundant experiments are conducted and verified the reliability of the proposed metric. And the results of the COMPREHS metric show that MRC-Sum is able to generate more comprehensive summaries than the baseline models.     

《时间机器》之退化主题研究

《时间机器》是科幻小说奠基人赫伯特.乔治.威尔斯的重要代表作之一。该小说既有天马行空的想象力,又有改革社会、警示后人的深刻寓意,同时也不乏对未来科技的预见。小说中的未来世界建筑物破败,人类后代埃洛伊人智力和体力衰退,莫洛克人则形如猿猴,倒退到人类进化的起点。威尔斯从环境、埃洛伊人和莫洛克人这三方面的倒退体现了小说的退化主题。

Feature selection based on mutual information and redundancy-synergy coefficient

INTRODUCTION Feature subset selection (FSS) is a data miningfundamental problem to select out relevant featuresand cast away irrelevant and redundant featuresfrom an original feature set (Liu and Motoda, 1998).If a feature subset satisfies the FSS measure and hasthe minimal size, it is regarded as the optimal fea-ture subset. Complete search strategy is the way toobtain an optimal feature subset. Branch and Bound(Narendra and Fukunaga, 1977), Focus (Almuallimand Dietterich, 199…

人事管理系统与考勤机接口实现研究

考勤作为一个单位的基础管理,越来越受到重视,传统的考勤模式为人工考勤,人工考勤靠专人书面登记,存在许多主观、人为因素,往往最终不能令管理层取得真实的考勤结果资料,甚至不能起到基本的约束作用。因此,人事管理系统结合具有专业性、安全性、独立性、实用性、完善性的彩屏指纹考勤机,对员工上下班的刷卡记录进行管理保存,形成员工真实的考勤数据,考勤管理人员将考勤数据下载到人事管理系统软件后,结合员工的基础信息进行匹配和处理,最后形成员工的考勤管理表。对人事管理系统结合考勤机实现考勤管理进行了研究,并对系统考勤管理功能模块进行了分析与设计。人事管理系统与考勤机接口的实现,有利于人事管理中考勤管理的正确性、公正性和公开性,并解决了传统手工签到管理中所存在的问题。
