Expanding Citations in a Paper by Summarizing References Based on Co-Occurring Terms

Scientific articles are formed of citations which need further explored. Previous work deals with the case that citations in a paragraph talk about co-occurring terms. This paper discusses the case that citations situated in different parts of a scientific article talk about same terms. We use the co-occurring terms in citations to summarize the cited papers. The resultant summaries are then used as the complement of the paper for human to read. Experiments show that our approach outperforms MEAD and LEAD by ROUGE evaluation.
