Overview of the Context24 Shared Task on Contextualizing Scientific Claims
To appropriately interpret and use scientific claims for sensemaking and decision-making, it is critical to contextualize them, not just with textual evidence that the claim was in fact asserted,…
On-the-fly Definition Augmentation of LLMs for Biomedical NER
Despite their general capabilities, LLMs still struggle on biomedical NER tasks, which are difficult due to the presence of specialized terminology and lack of training data. In this work we set out…
Personalized Jargon Identification for Enhanced Interdisciplinary Communication
Scientific jargon can impede researchers when they read materials from other domains. Current methods of jargon identification mainly use corpus-level familiarity indicators (e.g., Simple Wikipedia…
Papers-to-Posts: Supporting Detailed Long-Document Summarization with an Interactive LLM-Powered Source Outline
Compressing long and technical documents (e.g., >10 pages) into shorter-form articles (e.g., <2 pages) is critical for communicating information to different audiences, for example, blog posts of…
A Design Space for Intelligent and Interactive Writing Assistants
In our era of rapid technological advancement, the research landscape for writing assistants has become increasingly fragmented across various research communities. We seek to address this challenge…
Mitigating Barriers to Public Social Interaction with Meronymous Communication
In communities with social hierarchies, fear of judgment can discourage communication. While anonymity may alleviate some social pressure, fully anonymous spaces enable toxic behavior and hide the…
PaperWeaver: Enriching Topical Paper Alerts by Contextualizing Recommended Papers with User-collected Papers
With the rapid growth of scholarly archives, researchers subscribe to"paper alert"systems that periodically provide them with recommendations of recently published papers that are similar to…
CARE: Extracting Experimental Findings From Clinical Literature
Extracting fine-grained experimental findings from literature can provide dramatic utility for scientific applications. Prior work has developed annotation schemas and datasets for limited aspects…
Estimating the Causal Effect of Early ArXiving on Paper Acceptance
What is the effect of releasing a preprint of a paper before it is submitted for peer review? No randomized controlled trial has been conducted, so we turn to observational data to answer this…
FigurA11y: AI Assistance for Writing Scientific Alt Text
High-quality alt text is crucial for making scientific figures accessible to blind and low-vision readers. Crafting complete, accurate alt text is challenging even for domain experts, as published…
