In this project, we’ll train a summarization model that can convert abstracts into titles. ### Model(s) Several of the [`Summarization` models](https://huggingface.co/models?pipeline_tag=summarization&sort=downloads) on the Hub should serve as a good starting point for this project. ### Datasets There are several scientific datasets available on the Hub: - [arxiv\_dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/arxiv_dataset) - [pubmed](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pubmed) ### Challenges Training a model that can summarise across any scientific domain is unlikely to be feasible. We recommend picking one subdomain (e.g. high-energy physics) and focusing your efforts there. ### Desired project outcomes - Create a Streamlit or Gradio app on [🤗 Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces) that can generate titles from a given abstract. - Don’t forget to push all your models and datasets to the Hub so others can build on them! ### Additional resources - [https://cs230.stanford.edu/projects\_spring\_2020/reports/38954132.pdf](https://cs230.stanford.edu/projects_spring_2020/reports/38954132.pdf) ### Discord channel To chat and organise with other people interested in this project, head over to our [Discord](http://xwo7x.mjt.lu/lnk/CAAAAkdkZwAAAAAAAAAAALG-MTEAAYCr4H8AAAAAAAyFyQBhjpnimM4rcE5DT5ibCUtRT96tWwAMh8Y/15/U6BYNMNDksyyGG4jgtzPKQ/aHR0cHM6Ly9odWdnaW5nZmFjZS5jby9qb2luL2Rpc2NvcmQ) and: - Follow the instructions on the `#join-course` channel - Join the `science-title-generator` channel Just make sure you comment here to indicate that you’ll be contributing to this project 🙂 ---

> We recommend picking one subdomain (e.g. high-energy physics) and focusing your efforts there. This is a great starting point. @akshay7, do you have thoughts on which domain you’d like to focus on? I have a feeling if we pick cs.ML, it would just say “… is all you need” ---

Hey @shamikbose89 I am open to any of them, was think of cs.AI itself as it would be easier to manually check results too but something like physics.space-ph might be fun too.
