Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract This study introduces a dynamic optimization technique for the min-df (minimum document frequency) parameter in the GreedSum algorithm, aimed at improving extractive summarization. We applied geometric, percentile-based, and clustering-based methods on a dataset of 17,038 scientific articles from arXiv and PubMed.The results indicate a 2% improvement in ROUGE-1 F-measure compared to fixed min-df settings, achieving a peak F-measure of 45%. These findings demonstrate the potential of dynamic min-df tuning for better summa-rization, with future research directed at integrating deep learning models to further enhance accuracy and efficiency.
