Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient strategy for summarizing scientific documents in Organic Chemistry that concentrates on numerical treatments. We present its implementation named yachs(Yet Another Chemistry Summarizer) that combines a specific document pre-processing with a sentence scoring method relying on the statistical properties of documents. We show that yachsachieves the best results among several other summarizers on a corpus made of Organic Chemistry articles.
