• Authors: Sravana Reddy, Yongze Yu, Aasish Pappu, Aswin Sivaraman, Rezvaneh Rezapour, Rosie Jones
• Abstract summary: We present a model that leverage both textual and listening patterns to detect extraneous content in podcast descriptions and audio transcripts. We show that our models can substantively improve ROUGE scores and reduce the extraneous content generated in the summaries.

• Abstract: Podcast episodes often contain material extraneous to the main content, such as advertisements, interleaved within the audio and the written descriptions. We present classifiers that leverage both textual and listening patterns in order to detect such content in podcast descriptions and audio transcripts. We demonstrate that our models are effective by evaluating them on the downstream task of podcast summarization and show that we can substantively improve ROUGE scores and reduce the extraneous content generated in the summaries.

  Summarization of podcast transcripts is of practical benefit to both content providers and consumers. It helps consumers to quickly decide whether they will listen to the podcasts and reduces the load of content providers to write summaries. However, podcast summarization faces significant challenges including factual inconsistencies with respect to the inputs.

• Identifying Introductions in Podcast Episodes from Automatically Generated Transcripts [0.0]
  We build a novel dataset of complete transcriptions of over 400 podcast episodes. These introductions contain information about the episodes' topics, hosts, and guests. We train three Transformer models based on the pre-trained BERT and different augmentation strategies.

  In this work, we explore the robustness of a Latent Dirichlet Allocation topic model when applied to transcripts created by an automatic speech recognition engine. First, we observe a baseline of cosine similarity scores between topic embeddings from automatic transcriptions and the descriptions of the podcasts written by the podcast creators. We then observe how the cosine similarities decrease as transcription noise increases and conclude that even when automatic speech recognition transcripts are erroneous, it is still possible to obtain high-quality topic embeddings from the transcriptions.

• StreamHover: Livestream Transcript Summarization and Annotation [54.41877742041611]
  We present StreamHover, a framework for annotating and summarizing livestream transcripts. With a total of over 500 hours of videos annotated with both extractive and abstractive summaries, our benchmark dataset is significantly larger than currently existing annotated corpora. We show that our model generalizes better and improves performance over strong baselines.

  We present results from two experiments: efficacy study of single features on the task, and an ablation study where we leave one feature out at a time. For the video summarization task, our results indicate that the visual features carry most information, and including audiovisual features improves over visual-only information. Results indicate that we can transfer knowledge from the video summarization task to a model trained specifically for the task of highlight detection.

  We propose a method to automatically construct a podcast summary via guidance from the text-domain. Motivated by a lack of datasets for this task, we curate an internal dataset, find an effective scheme for data augmentation, and design a protocol to gather summaries from annotators. Our method achieves ROUGE-F(1/2/L) scores of 0.63/0.53/0.63 on our dataset.
