• Abstract summary: We provide a literature review about Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) systems. We consider a citation-based approach and present the diverse approaches to ATS guided by the mechanisms they use to generate a summary. We also present an extensive review of the datasets available for summarization tasks and the methods used to evaluate the quality of the summaries.

• Abstract: We provide a literature review about Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) systems. We consider a citation-based approach. We start with some popular and well-known papers that we have in hand about each topic we want to cover and we have tracked the "backward citations" (papers that are cited by the set of papers we knew beforehand) and the "forward citations" (newer papers that cite the set of papers we knew beforehand). In order to organize the different methods, we present the diverse approaches to ATS guided by the mechanisms they use to generate a summary. Besides presenting the methods, we also present an extensive review of the datasets available for summarization tasks and the methods used to evaluate the quality of the summaries. Finally, we present an empirical exploration of these methods using the CNN Corpus dataset that provides golden summaries for extractive and abstractive methods.

  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 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.

  We propose a Hierarchical bi-directional self-attention Network framework (HabNet) for paper review rating prediction and recommendation. Specifically, we leverage the hierarchical structure of the paper reviews with three levels of encoders: sentence encoder (level one), intra-review encoder (level two) and inter-review encoder (level three) We are able to identify useful predictors to make the final acceptance decision, as well as to help discover the inconsistency between numerical review ratings and text sentiment conveyed by reviewers.

  We propose to evaluate the summary qualities without reference summaries by unsupervised contrastive learning. Specifically, we design a new metric which covers both linguistic qualities and semantic informativeness based on BERT. Experiments on Newsroom and CNN/Daily Mail demonstrate that our new evaluation method outperforms other metrics even without reference summaries.

  SummPip is an unsupervised method for multi-document summarization. We convert the original documents to a sentence graph, taking both linguistic and deep representation into account. We then apply spectral clustering to obtain multiple clusters of sentences, and finally compress each cluster to generate the final summary.
