• Abstract: Query-based text summarization is an important real world problem that requires to condense the prolix text data into a summary under the guidance of the query information provided by users. The topic has been studied for a long time and there are many existing interesting research related to query-based text summarization. Yet much of the work is not systematically surveyed. This survey aims at summarizing some interesting work in query-based text summarization methods as well as related generic text summarization methods. Not all taxonomies in this paper exist the related work to the best of our knowledge and some analysis will be presented.

• QFMTS: Generating Query-Focused Summaries over Multi-Table Inputs [63.98556480088152]
  Table summarization is a crucial task aimed at condensing information into concise and comprehensible textual summaries. We propose a novel method to address these limitations by introducing query-focused multi-table summarization. Our approach, which comprises a table serialization module, a summarization controller, and a large language model, generates query-dependent table summaries tailored to users' information needs.

  Text Summarization is one of famous applications in Natural Language Processing (NLP) field. It aims to automatically generate summary with important information based on a given context. In this paper, we are inspired by "QMSum: A New Benchmark for Query-based Multi-domain Meeting Summarization" proposed by Microsoft. We also propose our Locater model designed to extract relevant spans based on given transcript and query, which are then summarized by Summarizer model.

  We propose QuOTeS, an interactive system designed to retrieve sentences related to a summary of the research from a collection of potential references. QuOTeS integrates techniques from Query-Focused Extractive Summarization and High-Recall Information Retrieval to provide Interactive Query-Focused Summarization of scientific documents. The results show that QuOTeS provides a positive user experience and consistently provides query-focused summaries that are relevant, concise, and complete.

  Community Question Answering (CQA) fora such as Stack Overflow and Yahoo! Answers contain a rich resource of answers to a wide range of community-based questions. One goal of answer summarization is to produce a summary that reflects the range of answer perspectives. This work introduces a novel dataset of 4,631 CQA threads for answer summarization, curated by professional linguists.

• Aspect-Oriented Summarization through Query-Focused Extraction [23.62412515574206]
  Real users' needs often fall more closely into aspects, broad topics in a dataset the user is interested in rather than specific queries. We benchmark extractive query-focused training schemes, and propose a contrastive augmentation approach to train the model. We evaluate on two aspect-oriented datasets and find this approach yields focused summaries, better than those from a generic summarization system.

  We introduce LaQSum, the first unified text summarization system that learns Latent Queries from documents for abstractive summarization with any existing query forms. 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.

• A Dataset of Information-Seeking Questions and Answers Anchored in Research Papers [66.11048565324468]
  We present a dataset of 5,049 questions over 1,585 Natural Language Processing papers. Each question is written by an NLP practitioner who read only the title and abstract of the corresponding paper, and the question seeks information present in the full text. We find that existing models that do well on other QA tasks do not perform well on answering these questions, underperforming humans by at least 27 F1 points when answering them from entire papers.
