• Title: Reinforced Generative Adversarial Network for Abstractive Text Summarization
• Authors: Tianyang Xu, Chunyun Zhang
• Abstract summary: Sequence-to-sequence models provide a viable new approach to generative summarization. These models have three drawbacks: their grasp of the details of the original text is often inaccurate, and the text generated by such models often has repetitions. We propose a new architecture that combines reinforcement learning and adversarial generative networks to enhance the sequence-to-sequence attention model.

• Abstract: Sequence-to-sequence models provide a viable new approach to generative summarization, allowing models that are no longer limited to simply selecting and recombining sentences from the original text. However, these models have three drawbacks: their grasp of the details of the original text is often inaccurate, and the text generated by such models often has repetitions, while it is difficult to handle words that are beyond the word list. In this paper, we propose a new architecture that combines reinforcement learning and adversarial generative networks to enhance the sequence-to-sequence attention model. First, we use a hybrid pointer-generator network that copies words directly from the source text, contributing to accurate reproduction of information without sacrificing the ability of generators to generate new words. Second, we use both intra-temporal and intra-decoder attention to penalize summarized content and thus discourage repetition. We apply our model to our own proposed COVID-19 paper title summarization task and achieve close approximations to the current model on ROUEG, while bringing better readability.

  DiffusER is an edit-based generative model for text based on denoising diffusion models. It can rival autoregressive models on several tasks spanning machine translation, summarization, and style transfer. It can also perform other varieties of generation that standard autoregressive models are not well-suited for.

  We propose a novel supervised approach of a copy network that helps the model decide which words need to be copied and which need to be generated. Specifically, we re-define the objective function, which leverages source sequences and target vocabularies as guidance for copying. The experimental results on data-to-text generation and abstractive summarization tasks verify that our approach enhances the copying quality and improves the degree of abstractness.

• Controllable Text Simplification with Explicit Paraphrasing [88.02804405275785]
  Text Simplification improves the readability of sentences through several rewriting transformations, such as lexical paraphrasing, deletion, and splitting. Current simplification systems are predominantly sequence-to-sequence models that are trained end-to-end to perform all these operations simultaneously. We propose a novel hybrid approach that leverages linguistically-motivated rules for splitting and deletion, and couples them with a neural paraphrasing model to produce varied rewriting styles.

  Span-Fact is a suite of two factual correction models that leverages knowledge learned from question answering models to make corrections in system-generated summaries via span selection. Our models employ single or multi-masking strategies to either iteratively or auto-regressively replace entities in order to ensure semantic consistency w.r.t. the source text. Experiments show that our models significantly boost the factual consistency of system-generated summaries without sacrificing summary quality in terms of both automatic metrics and human evaluation.

Results show that our models produce significantly higher ROUGE scores than a variant without knowledge graph as input on both New York Times and CNN/Daily Mail datasets.
