- Title: OpinionDigest: A Simple Framework for Opinion Summarization
- Authors: Yoshihiko Suhara, Xiaolan Wang, Stefanos Angelidis, Wang-Chiew Tan
- Abstract summary: The framework uses an Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis model to extract opinion phrases from reviews, and trains a Transformer model to reconstruct the original reviews from these extractions.
The selected opinions are used as input to the trained Transformer model, which verbalizes them into an opinion summary.
OpinionDigest can also generate customized summaries, tailored to specific user needs, by filtering the selected opinions according to their aspect and/or sentiment.

- Abstract: We present OpinionDigest, an abstractive opinion summarization framework,
which does not rely on gold-standard summaries for training. The framework uses
an Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis model to extract opinion phrases from
reviews, and trains a Transformer model to reconstruct the original reviews
from these extractions. At summarization time, we merge extractions from
multiple reviews and select the most popular ones. The selected opinions are
used as input to the trained Transformer model, which verbalizes them into an
opinion summary. OpinionDigest can also generate customized summaries, tailored
to specific user needs, by filtering the selected opinions according to their
aspect and/or sentiment. Automatic evaluation on Yelp data shows that our
framework outperforms competitive baselines. Human studies on two corpora
verify that OpinionDigest produces informative summaries and shows promising
customization capabilities.

We propose an automatic metric to test the prevalence of the opinions that a summary expresses.
We consider several existing methods to score the factual consistency of a summary statement.
We show that a human authored summary has only slightly better opinion prevalence than randomly selected extracts from the source reviews.

We collect a large dataset of summaries paired with user reviews for over 31,000 products, enabling supervised training.
The content of many reviews is not reflected in the human-written summaries, and, thus, the summarizer trained on random review subsets hallucinates.
We formulate the task as jointly learning to select informative subsets of reviews and summarizing the opinions expressed in these subsets.

We propose an approach that allows the generation of customized summaries based on aspect queries.
Using a review corpus, we create a synthetic training dataset of (review, summary) pairs enriched with aspect controllers.
We fine-tune a pretrained model using our synthetic dataset and generate aspect-specific summaries by modifying the aspect controllers.

We argue the need and propose a solution for generating personalized aspect-based opinion summaries from online tourist reviews.
