A synthesis matrix is a table that summarizes various aspects of multiple documents. In our work, we specifically examine a problem of automatically generating a synthesis matrix for scientific literature review. As described in this paper, we first formulate the task as multidocument summarization and question-answering tasks given a set of aspects of the review based on an investigation of system summary tables of NLP tasks. Next, we present a method to address the former type of task. Our system consists of two steps: sentence ranking and sentence selection. In the sentence ranking step, the system ranks sentences in the input papers by regarding aspects as queries. We use LexRank and also incorporate query expansion and word embedding to compensate for tersely expressed queries. In the sentence selection step, the system selects sentences that remain in the final output. Specifically emphasizing the summarization type aspects, we regard this step as an integer linear programming problem with a special type of constraint imposed to make summaries comparable. We evaluated our system using a dataset we created from the ACL Anthology. The results of manual evaluation demonstrated that our selection method using comparability improved
