CBAG: Conditional biomedical abstract generation.

Biomedical research papers often combine disjoint concepts in novel ways, such as when describing a newly discovered relationship between an understudied gene with an important disease. These concepts are often explicitly encoded as metadata keywords, such as the author-provided terms included with...
