Welcome to SummarizeIt, the NLP-powered tool that is reshaping how medical researchers review literature. By classifying sentences into categories such as objectives, methods, results, and conclusions, SummarizeIt enables quick skimming and deeper dives into research papers, enhancing productivity and understanding.
Drawing inspiration from the pivotal 2017 research presented in 'PubMed 200k RCT', SummarizeIt leverages deep learning to parse and categorize complex medical text. The result? A nuanced tool that empowers researchers to efficiently navigate and extract value from extensive medical literature.
Our models are trained using the PubMed 200k RCT dataset, a robust collection of randomized controlled trials. Key features include:
- PubMed 20k RCT: A focused subset for targeted analysis.
- Number Replacement: In some variants, numbers are replaced with '@' to ensure the model isn't biased by specific numerical data.
Understanding the makeup of our dataset is crucial. The count plot below illustrates the distribution of sentence types, which informs our model training:

Embarking on a journey through machine learning, we explored various architectures, each with its own strengths:
- Naive Bayes Model – Our starting point, achieving 72% accuracy.
- Conv1D Model – Enhanced pattern recognition brought us to 78% accuracy.
- Universal Sentence Encoder – Leveraged pre-trained models for a solid 75% accuracy.
- Character-Level Conv1D – Diving deeper into textual nuances, reaching 73% accuracy.
- Hybrid Token-Character Models – Combining multiple data representations to improve to 76% accuracy.
- Position-Enhanced Models – Incorporating sentence position for a significant leap to 81% accuracy.
- BERT-Embedded Model – The pinnacle of our efforts, integrating state-of-the-art BERT embeddings to achieve a remarkable 88% accuracy.
