Label-Guided Scientific Abstract Generation with a Siamese Network Using
Knowledge Graphs
Abstract
Knowledge graphs convey precise semantic information that can be
effectively interpreted by neural networks, and generating descriptive
text based on these graphs places significant emphasis on content
consistency. However, knowledge graphs are inadequate for providing
additional linguistic features such as paragraph structure and
expressive modes, making it challenging to ensure content coherence in
generating text that spans multiple sentences. This lack of coherence
can further compromise the overall consistency of the content within a
paragraph. In this work, we present the generation of scientific
abstracts by leveraging knowledge graphs, with a focus on enhancing both
content consistency and coherence. In particular, we construct the ACL
Abstract Graph Dataset (ACL-AGD) which pairs knowledge graphs with text,
incorporating sentence labels to guide text structure and diverse
expressions. We then implement a Siamese network to complement and
concretize the entities and relations based on paragraph structure by
accomplishing two tasks: graph-to-text generation and entity alignment.
Extensive experiments demonstrate that the logical paragraphs generated
by our method exhibit entities with a uniform position distribution and
appropriate frequency. In terms of content, our method accurately
represents the information encoded in the knowledge graph, prevents the
generation of irrelevant content, and achieves coherent and
non-redundant adjacent sentences, even with a shared knowledge graph.
