Automatic Generation of Titles for Research Papers Using Language Models

arXiv:2606.05085v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The title of a research paper conveys its primary idea and, occasionally, its conclusions in a clear and concise manner. Choosing an appropriate title is often challenging, and automated title generation can assist authors in this task. In this work, we propose a technique to generate paper titles from abstracts using open-weight pre-trained and large language models. We use the CSPubSum and LREC-COLING-2024 datasets and introduce a new dataset, SpringerSSAT, curated from four Springer journals in the social sciences. Additionally, we use GPT-3

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of powerful large language models makes automated text generation tasks more feasible and effective than ever before.

Why it’s important

Automated title generation can significantly enhance the efficiency of academic publishing and information retrieval, impacting research dissemination and discovery.

What changes

Researchers may see AI tools becoming more integrated into their writing processes, potentially reducing the cognitive load of crafting effective paper titles.
