Artificial
intelligence that reads journal articles and highlights key findings could help
researchers stay on top of the latest research. But the technology isn’t ready
for prime time.
Summarizing the
findings of a complex and technical research paper into plain English is no
easy feat, but a recent development by scientists at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology could change that.
Using a form of
artificial intelligence called a neural network, scientists at MIT and the
Qatar Computing Research Institute at Hamad Bin Khalifa University have created
technology that can read scientific papers and generate easy-to-read summaries
that are just one or two sentences long.
The research, recently published in the journal Transactions of the Association for
Computational Linguistics, could potentially be used by
journalists to help communicate complex research to the public, though the
authors say they aren't going to be putting journalists out of a job any time
soon. (Phew.)
