# PubMed dataset for summarization

Dataset for summarization of long documents.\
Adapted from this [repo](https://github.com/armancohan/long-summarization).\
Note that original data are pre-tokenized so this dataset returns " ".join(text) and add "\n" for paragraphs. \
This dataset is compatible with the [`run_summarization.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/master/examples/pytorch/summarization) script from Transformers if you add this line to the `summarization_name_mapping` variable:
```python
"ccdv/pubmed-summarization": ("article", "abstract")
```

### Data Fields

- `id`: paper id
- `article`: a string containing the body of the paper
- `abstract`: a string containing the abstract of the paper

### Data Splits

This dataset has 3 splits: _train_, _validation_, and _test_. \
Token counts are white space based.

| Dataset Split | Number of Instances |     Avg. tokens       |
| ------------- | --------------------|:----------------------|
| Train         | 119,924             |      3043 / 215       |
| Validation    | 6,633               |      3111 / 216       |
| Test          | 6,658               |      3092 / 219       |

  abstract = "Neural abstractive summarization models have led to promising results in summarizing relatively short documents. We propose the first model for abstractive summarization of single, longer-form documents (e.g., research papers). Our approach consists of a new hierarchical encoder that models the discourse structure of a document, and an attentive discourse-aware decoder to generate the summary. Empirical results on two large-scale datasets of scientific papers show that our model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art models.",
