Abstract

Nowadays, in the scientific field, text production is required from scientists as means of sharing their research and contribution to science. Scientific text writing is a task that demands time and formal writing skills and can be specifically slow and challenging for inexperienced researchers. In addition, scientific texts must be written in English, follow a specific style and terminology, which can be a difficult task specially for researchers that aren’t native English speakers or that don’t know the specific writing procedures required by some publisher. In this article, we propose NEWRITER, a neural network based approach to address scientific text writing assistance. In particular, it enables users to feed related scientific text as an input to train a scientific-text base language model into a user-customized, specialized one. Then, the user is presented with real-time text suggestions as they write their own text. Experimental results show that our user-customized language model can be effectively used for scientific text writing assistance when compared to state-of-the-art pre-trained models.
