• Abstract: Recent advances in summarization provide models that can generate summaries of higher quality. Such models now exist for a number of summarization tasks, including query-based summarization, dialogue summarization, and multi-document summarization. While such models and tasks are rapidly growing in the research field, it has also become challenging for non-experts to keep track of them. To make summarization methods more accessible to a wider audience, we develop SummerTime by rethinking the summarization task from the perspective of an NLP non-expert. SummerTime is a complete toolkit for text summarization, including various models, datasets and evaluation metrics, for a full spectrum of summarization-related tasks. SummerTime integrates with libraries designed for NLP researchers, and enables users with easy-to-use APIs. With SummerTime, users can locate pipeline solutions and search for the best model with their own data, and visualize the differences, all with a few lines of code. We also provide explanations for models and evaluation metrics to help users understand the model behaviors and select models that best suit their needs. Our library, along with a notebook demo, is available at https://github.com/Yale-LILY/SummerTime.

  We propose the task of Stepwise Summarization, which aims to generate a new appended summary each time a new document is proposed. The appended summary should not only summarize the newly added content but also be coherent with the previous summary. We show that SSG achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of both automatic metrics and human evaluations.

Under a deep generative framework, our system jointly optimize a latent query model and a conditional language model, allowing users to plug-and-play queries of any type at test time. Our system robustly outperforms strong comparison systems across summarization benchmarks with different query types, document settings, and target domains.
