• Abstract: Text Summarization is the task of condensing long text into just a handful of sentences. Many approaches have been proposed for this task, some of the very first were building statistical models (Extractive Methods) capable of selecting important words and copying them to the output, however these models lacked the ability to paraphrase sentences, as they simply select important words without actually understanding their contexts nor understanding their meaning, here comes the use of Deep Learning based architectures (Abstractive Methods), which effectively tries to understand the meaning of sentences to build meaningful summaries. In this work we discuss one of these new novel approaches which combines curriculum learning with Deep Learning, this model is called Scheduled Sampling. We apply this work to one of the most widely spoken African languages which is the Amharic Language, as we try to enrich the African NLP community with top-notch Deep Learning architectures.

  Deep learning has revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) by enabling the development of models that can learn complex representations of language data. Deep learning models for NLP typically use large amounts of data to train deep neural networks, allowing them to learn the patterns and relationships in language data. Applying deep learning to text summarization refers to the use of deep neural networks to perform text summarization tasks.

  We take inspiration from how human babies acquire their first language, and developed a computational process for word acquisition through comparative learning. Motivated by cognitive findings, we generated a small dataset that enables the computation models to compare the similarities and differences of various attributes. We frame the acquisition of words as not only the information filtration process, but also as representation-symbol mapping.

  A problem that frequently occurs when working with a non-English language is the scarcity of annotated training data. We design a simple but effective ensemble-based framework that combines various transfer learning techniques. We also propose a low-cost TL method that bootstraps coreference resolution models by utilizing Wikipedia anchor texts.
