• Abstract: Podcast summary, an important factor affecting end-users' listening decisions, has often been considered a critical feature in podcast recommendation systems, as well as many downstream applications. Existing abstractive summarization approaches are mainly built on fine-tuned models on professionally edited texts such as CNN and DailyMail news. Different from news, podcasts are often longer, more colloquial and conversational, and noisier with contents on commercials and sponsorship, which makes automatic podcast summarization extremely challenging. This paper presents a baseline analysis of podcast summarization using the Spotify Podcast Dataset provided by TREC 2020. It aims to help researchers understand current state-of-the-art pre-trained models and hence build a foundation for creating better models.

  Generation of audio from text prompts is an important aspect of such processes in the music and film industry. Our hypothesis is focusing on how these aspects of audio generation could improve audio generation performance in the presence of limited data. We synthetically create a preference dataset where each prompt has a winner audio output and some loser audio outputs for the diffusion model to learn from.

  We assess the feasibility to discover relevant topics from podcast metadata, titles and descriptions, using modeling techniques for short text. We propose a new strategy to named entities (NEs), often present in podcast metadata, in a Non-negative Matrix Factorization modeling framework. Our experiments on two existing datasets from Spotify and iTunes and Deezer, show that our proposed document representation, NEiCE, leads to improved coherence over the baselines.
