Improving Citation Text Generation: Overcoming Limitations in Length Control

Abstract

A key challenge in citation text generation is that the length of generated text often differs from the length of the target, lowering the quality of the generation. While prior works have investigated length-controlled generation, their effectiveness depends on knowing the appropriate generation length. In this work, we present an in-depth study of the limitations of predicting scientific citation text length and explore the use of heuristic estimates of desired length.
