***First Shared Task on Multi-Perspective Scientific Document Summarization (MuP)***
***Website: https://github.com/allenai/mup ***
Generating summaries of scientific documents is known to be a challenging task. The majority of existing work in summarization assumes only one single best gold summary for each given document. Having only one gold summary negatively impacts our ability to evaluate the quality of summarization systems, as writing summaries is a subjective activity. At the same time, annotating multiple gold summaries for scientific documents can be extremely expensive as it requires domain experts to read and understand long scientific documents. This shared task will enable exploring methods for generating multi-perspective summaries. We introduce a novel summarization corpus, leveraging data from scientific peer reviews to capture diverse perspectives from the reader's point of view (each paper has multiple summaries reflecting multiple perspectives of the reader).
The MuP shared task is a part of the 3rd Scholarly Document Processing (SDP) workshop at COLING 2022. https://sdproc.org/2022/
