Enhancing Large Language Models for Scientific Multimodal Summarization with Multimodal Output

Proceedings of the 31st International Conference on Computational Linguistics: Industry Track

The increasing integration of multimedia such as videos and graphical abstracts in scientific publications necessitates advanced summarization techniques. This paper introduces Uni-SciSum, a framework for Scientific Multimodal Summarization with Multimodal Output (SMSMO), addressing the challenges of fusing heterogeneous data sources (e.g., text, images, video, audio) and outputting multimodal summary within a unified architecture. Uni-SciSum leverages the power of large language models (LLMs) and extends its capability to cross-modal understanding through BridgeNet, a query-based transformer that fuses diverse modalities into a fixed-length embedding. A two-stage training process, involving modal-to-modal pre-training and cross-modal instruction tuning, aligns different modalities with summaries and optimizes for multimodal summary generation. Experiments on two new SMSMO datasets show Uni-SciSum outperforms uni- and multi-modality methods, advancing LLM applications in the increasingly multimodal realm of scientific communication.
