Evaluation of summarization models applied to scientific documents within the PubMed dataset, measured using ROUGE, METEOR, and BERTScore.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Scientific Document Summarization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | PubMed |
| Metric | ROUGE-1 |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [ROUGE-1](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/scientific-document-summarization-on-pubmed.md?metric=ROUGE-1>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [ROUGE-2](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/scientific-document-summarization-on-pubmed.md?metric=ROUGE-2>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [ROUGE-L](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/scientific-document-summarization-on-pubmed.md?metric=ROUGE-L>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [METEOR Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/scientific-document-summarization-on-pubmed.md?metric=METEOR%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [BERTScore](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/scientific-document-summarization-on-pubmed.md?metric=BERTScore>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
