• Authors: Sangwoo Cho and Kaiqiang Song and Chen Li and Dong Yu and Hassan Foroosh and Fei Liu
• Abstract summary: We present a new method to produce self-contained highlights that are understandable on their own to avoid confusion. Our method combines determinantal point processes and deep contextualized representations to identify an optimal set of sub-sentence segments. To demonstrate the flexibility and modeling power of our method, we conduct extensive experiments on summarization datasets.

• Abstract: Amongst the best means to summarize is highlighting. In this paper, we aim to generate summary highlights to be overlaid on the original documents to make it easier for readers to sift through a large amount of text. The method allows summaries to be understood in context to prevent a summarizer from distorting the original meaning, of which abstractive summarizers usually fall short. In particular, we present a new method to produce self-contained highlights that are understandable on their own to avoid confusion. Our method combines determinantal point processes and deep contextualized representations to identify an optimal set of sub-sentence segments that are both important and non-redundant to form summary highlights. To demonstrate the flexibility and modeling power of our method, we conduct extensive experiments on summarization datasets. Our analysis provides evidence that highlighting is a promising avenue of research towards future summarization.

  We leverage recent progress on textual entailment models to address this problem for abstractive summarization systems. We use reinforcement learning with reference-free, textual entailment rewards to optimize for factual consistency. Our results, according to both automatic metrics and human evaluation, show that our method considerably improves the faithfulness, salience, and conciseness of the generated summaries.

  We propose SummIt, an iterative text summarization framework based on large language models like ChatGPT. Our framework enables the model to refine the generated summary iteratively through self-evaluation and feedback. We also conduct a human evaluation to validate the effectiveness of the iterative refinements and identify a potential issue of over-correction.

• A General Contextualized Rewriting Framework for Text Summarization [15.311467109946571]
  Exiting rewriting systems take each extractive sentence as the only input, which is relatively focused but can lose necessary background knowledge and discourse context. We formalize contextualized rewriting as a seq2seq with group-tag alignments, identifying extractive sentences through content-based addressing. Results show that our approach significantly outperforms non-contextualized rewriting systems without requiring reinforcement learning.

  summarization is the process of shortening a set of textual data computationally, to create a subset (a summary) Existing summarization methods can be roughly divided into two types: extractive and abstractive. An extractive summarizer explicitly selects text snippets from the source document, while an abstractive summarizer generates novel text snippets to convey the most salient concepts prevalent in the source.

  We propose to explicitly incorporate the underlying structure of narratives into general unsupervised and supervised extractive summarization models. We formalize narrative structure in terms of key narrative events (turning points) and treat it as latent in order to summarize screenplays. Experimental results on the CSI corpus of TV screenplays, which we augment with scene-level summarization labels, show that latent turning points correlate with important aspects of a CSI episode.
