A Citation-based Approach to Automatic Paper Summarization

We propose a novel, collective-intelligence-based approach for automatic summarization of research papers. Each time a citation appears in a paper it is accompanied by a span of text describing the work being cited. These spans of text we call “c-sites.” Given a target paper, our method extracts all c-sites in other papers that refer to the target paper, and aggregates them, forming a kind of summary of the target paper. This summary implicitly contains multiple points-of-view, i.e. critical analyses by other scholars, something not present in traditional paper summarization techniques. We also survey several pre-existing components related to citation parsing and extraction, introduce our system Cite-Sum, and discuss its initial implementation details.
