• Abstract summary: We deal with a novel task of extreme abstractive text summarization (aka TL;DR generation) by leveraging multiple input modalities. The mTLDR dataset accompanies a total of 4,182 instances collected from various academic conference proceedings. We present mTLDRgen, an encoder-decoder-based model that employs a novel dual-fused hyper-complex Transformer.

• Abstract: The realm of scientific text summarization has experienced remarkable progress due to the availability of annotated brief summaries and ample data. However, the utilization of multiple input modalities, such as videos and audio, has yet to be thoroughly explored. At present, scientific multimodal-input-based text summarization systems tend to employ longer target summaries like abstracts, leading to an underwhelming performance in the task of text summarization. In this paper, we deal with a novel task of extreme abstractive text summarization (aka TL;DR generation) by leveraging multiple input modalities. To this end, we introduce mTLDR, a first-of-its-kind dataset for the aforementioned task, comprising videos, audio, and text, along with both author-composed summaries and expert-annotated summaries. The mTLDR dataset accompanies a total of 4,182 instances collected from various academic conference proceedings, such as ICLR, ACL, and CVPR. Subsequently, we present mTLDRgen, an encoder-decoder-based model that employs a novel dual-fused hyper-complex Transformer combined with a Wasserstein Riemannian Encoder Transformer, to dexterously capture the intricacies between different modalities in a hyper-complex latent geometric space. The hyper-complex Transformer captures the intrinsic properties between the modalities, while the Wasserstein Riemannian Encoder Transformer captures the latent structure of the modalities in the latent space geometry, thereby enabling the model to produce diverse sentences. mTLDRgen outperforms 20 baselines on mTLDR as well as another non-scientific dataset (How2) across three Rouge-based evaluation measures. Furthermore, based on the qualitative metrics, BERTScore and FEQA, and human evaluations, we demonstrate that the summaries generated by mTLDRgen are fluent and congruent to the original source material.

  The goal of multimodal summarization is to extract the most important information from different modalities to form output summaries. Existing methods fail to leverage the temporal correspondence between different modalities and ignore the intrinsic correlation between different samples. We introduce Align and Attend Multimodal Summarization (A2Summ), a unified multimodal transformer-based model which can effectively align and attend the multimodal input.

  In this work, we rethink this task from the perspective of global information alignment and transformation. Specifically, the proposed method (TransCMD) cascades several cross-modal integration units to construct a top-down transformer-based information propagation path. Experimental results on seven RGB-D SOD benchmark datasets demonstrate that a simple two-stream encoder-decoder framework can surpass the state-of-the-art purely CNN-based methods.

Key feature of our model is a structural bias that we introduce by encoding two separate representations for each token. We show that our TP-TRANSFORMER outperforms the Transformer and the original TP-TRANSFORMER significantly on several abstractive summarization datasets.
