• Authors: Meng Cao
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Automatic summarization is the process of shortening a set of textual data computationally, to create a subset (a summary) that represents the most important pieces of information in the original text. Existing summarization methods can be roughly divided into two types: extractive and abstractive. An extractive summarizer explicitly selects text snippets (words, phrases, sentences, etc.) from the source document, while an abstractive summarizer generates novel text snippets to convey the most salient concepts prevalent in the source.

• Source Identification in Abstractive Summarization [0.8883733362171033]
  We define input sentences that contain essential information in the generated summary as $textitsource sentences$ and study how abstractive summaries are made by analyzing the source sentences. We formulate automatic source sentence detection and compare multiple methods to establish a strong baseline for the task. Experimental results show that the perplexity-based method performs well in highly abstractive settings, while similarity-based methods robustly in relatively extractive settings.

  We propose a novel summarization approach with a flexible and reliable salience guidance, namely SEASON (SaliencE Allocation as Guidance for Abstractive SummarizatiON) SEASON utilizes the allocation of salience expectation to guide abstractive summarization and adapts well to articles in different abstractiveness.

• 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.

  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.

  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.

  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.
