• Abstract summary: We argue the need and propose a solution for generating personalized aspect-based opinion summaries from online tourist reviews. We let our readers decide and control several attributes of the summary such as the length and specific aspects of interest. Specifically, we take an unsupervised approach to extract coherent aspects from tourist reviews posted on TripAdvisor.

• Abstract: Manually extracting relevant aspects and opinions from large volumes of user-generated text is a time-consuming process. Summaries, on the other hand, help readers with limited time budgets to quickly consume the key ideas from the data. State-of-the-art approaches for multi-document summarization, however, do not consider user preferences while generating summaries. In this work, we argue the need and propose a solution for generating personalized aspect-based opinion summaries from large collections of online tourist reviews. We let our readers decide and control several attributes of the summary such as the length and specific aspects of interest among others. Specifically, we take an unsupervised approach to extract coherent aspects from tourist reviews posted on TripAdvisor. We then propose an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) based extractive technique to select an informative subset of opinions around the identified aspects while respecting the user-specified values for various control parameters. Finally, we evaluate and compare our summaries using crowdsourcing and ROUGE-based metrics and obtain competitive results.

  In online marketplaces user reviews accumulate over time, and opinion summaries need to be updated periodically. In this work, we study the task of extractive opinion summarization in an incremental setting. We present an efficient algorithm for accurately computing the CentroidRank summaries in an incremental setting.

  We generate abstractive summaries by decoding frequent encodings, and extractive summaries by selecting the sentences assigned to the same frequent encodings. Our method is attributable, because the model identifies sentences used to generate the summary as part of the summarization process. It scales easily to many hundreds of input reviews, because aggregation is performed in the latent space rather than over long sequences of tokens.

• Learning Opinion Summarizers by Selecting Informative Reviews [81.47506952645564]
  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.
