Enhancing Biomedical Multi-Label Text Classification via Topic-Based Text Representation

: Biomedical texts naturally contain multiple biological and medical concepts within a document, resulting in a semantically rich and complex structure. Consequently, multi-label text classification (MLTC) has become a suitable framework for comprehensively modeling biomedical texts, including clinical reports, laborat...

Evaluating Large Language Models for Biomedical Text Summarization: A Study of Cardiovascular Research

In this study, a comprehensive evaluation of abstractive and extractive summarization performance across three prominent large language models (LLMs): ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini is presented. A total of 8,000 cardiovascular-related research abstracts were collected from PubMed and summarized using two distinct promp...

HyBioSum: A Hybrid Framework for Biomedical Long-Document Summarization With Supervised Extractive and LLM-Based Generation

A hybrid extract-then-summarize framework that first identifies salient sentences using a supervised extractive model and then generates an abstractive summary through LLM prompting is proposed, which improves efficiency by focusing the generative process on informative content while reducing the processing cost typica...

Assessing Transformer Models for Abstractive Summarization of Scientific Articles

The results show that BART achieves the best performance with an ROUGE-2 F1-score of 0.40664, while T5 demonstrates superior grammatical acceptability, achieving 93.36%, but BART achieves a very near performance to T5.
