"text": "Question summarization for medical forum is important for medical knowledge discovery and retrieval and facilitates downstream tasks such as biomedical question answering (Jin et al., 2021) . Medical questions are often complex, scattered with non-medical information, and can sometimes be erroneous because forum users are not domain experts (Ben Abacha and Demner-Fushman, 2019) . In addition, annotation in the medical domain is harder to acquire than in the general domain. These challenges make medical question summarization an important and difficult task where annotation is often scarce. The MEDIQA 2021 shared task 1 (Ben Abacha et al., 2021), medical question summarization, requires participants to build summarization systems for noisy medical forum texts with limited annotation data. The official training set of the task is the MeQSum dataset (Ben Abacha and Demner-Fushman, 2019), which is composed of 1,000 medical questions and their corresponding summaries. The validation and test sets consist of 50 and 100 questions respectively and topic words are sometimes misspelled.",

We present an example from the MEDIQA 2021 task 1 validation set in Figure 1 (a).

My daughter suffers with acute folliculitus, and has been since the age of 13. She is now 20 and is in so much distress as nothing seems to alleviate the itching and soreness... I am writing to you for any help you could give me to try and assist her. Could you recommend a specialist and someone who could help us with research? Please could you point us in the right direction? I am happy to send through her lab tests -please let me know. Thanks How can we find a specialist or clinical trial for chronic folliculitis? incorrectly in the input question and the question contains a lot of irrelevant information. We attempt to correct misspellings with a dedicated module in our system. As useful information is often scattered in different sentences in the input, abstractive summarization suits this task better than extractive summarization. We perform abstractive summarization with pre-trained language models. We illustrate the architecture of our submission in Figure 1 (b): we first try to correct spell errors in the input; then summarize each question with three generative LMs: Pegasus, BART, and T5; finally, for each question, we pick the best output with a feature-based reranker and the best output is chosen as the summarization of the question.",
