In plain words: A tool searches 270,000 computer science papers and writes short, detailed summaries of the ones matching a typed question or picked categories like tasks and datasets. It was designed after asking researchers what they need, and human experts checked the results.

Abstract

We present a novel system providing summaries for Computer Science publications. Through a qualitative user study, we identified the most valuable scenarios for discovery, exploration and understanding of scientific documents. Based on these findings, we built a system that retrieves and summarizes scientific documents for a given information need, either in form of a free-text query or by choosing categorized values such as scientific tasks, datasets and more. Our system ingested 270,000 papers, and its summarization module aims to generate concise yet detailed summaries. We validated our approach with human experts.
