# Dataset Card for Multi-XScience
## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** https://github.com/yaolu/Multi-XScience
- **Pubmed:** False
- **Public:** True
- **Tasks:** Paraphrasing, Summarization
Multi-document summarization is a challenging task for which there exists little large-scale datasets.
We propose Multi-XScience, a large-scale multi-document summarization dataset created from scientific articles.
Multi-XScience introduces a challenging multi-document summarization task: writing the related-work section
of a paper based on its abstract and the articles it references. Our work is inspired by extreme summarization,
a dataset construction protocol that favours abstractive modeling approaches. Descriptive statistics and
empirical results---using several state-of-the-art models trained on the Multi-XScience dataset---reveal t
hat Multi-XScience is well suited for abstractive models.
