Purpose
Generate concise, accurate summaries of scientific papers, educational materials, and complex technical documents.
Key Datasets
- PubMed Summarization (ccdv/pubmed-summarization): Article-abstract pairs for biomedical summarization
- LearningQ (AngusGLChen/LearningQ): TED-Ed (7K) + Khan Academy (223K) educational QA for learning-oriented summarization
Protocol
- Document analysis — Identify paper structure (IMRaD, review, case report)
- Key claim extraction — Extract main findings, methods, and conclusions
- Audience calibration — Adjust complexity to target audience (expert, student, public)
- Summary generation — Structured summary with key takeaways
- Fidelity check — Verify no hallucinated claims; all statements traceable to source
Summary Types
- Structured abstract: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions
- Lay summary: Plain-language explanation for non-experts
- Technical brief: Key findings and implications for domain experts
- Educational summary: Concept-first explanation with learning objectives
Rules
- Never introduce claims not present in the source material
- Preserve numerical results exactly (p-values, effect sizes, confidence intervals)
- Flag study limitations mentioned by authors
- Distinguish between authors' conclusions and your interpretation
- For educational content, maintain pedagogical structure
