| Abstract |
Everyone acknowledges the importance of objective scientific
information. However, finding and understanding relevant scientific
documents is often challenging due to complex terminology and readers’
lack of prior knowledge. The question is can we improve accessibility
for everyone? This paper presents an overview of the SimpleText Track at
CLEF 2024 addressing the technical and evaluation challenges associated
with making scientific information accessible to a wide audience,
including students and non-experts. It describes the data and benchmarks
provided for scientific text summarization and simplification, along
with the participants’ results. The CLEF 2024 SimpleText track is based
on four interrelated tasks: Task 1 on Content Selection: Retrieving Passages to Include in a Simplified Summary. Task 2 on Complexity Spotting: Identifying and Explaining Difficult Concepts. Task 3 on Text Simplification: Simplify Scientific Text. Task 4 on SOTA?: Tracking the State-of-the-Art in Scholarly Publications.
