• Abstract summary: We introduce SummHelper, a 2-phase summarization assistant designed to foster human-machine collaboration. The initial phase involves content selection, where the system recommends potential content, allowing users to accept, modify, or introduce additional selections. The subsequent phase, content consolidation, involves SummHelper generating a coherent summary from these selections, which users can then refine using visual mappings between the summary and the source text.

• Abstract: Current approaches for text summarization are predominantly automatic, with rather limited space for human intervention and control over the process. In this paper, we introduce SummHelper, a 2-phase summarization assistant designed to foster human-machine collaboration. The initial phase involves content selection, where the system recommends potential content, allowing users to accept, modify, or introduce additional selections. The subsequent phase, content consolidation, involves SummHelper generating a coherent summary from these selections, which users can then refine using visual mappings between the summary and the source text. Small-scale user studies reveal the effectiveness of our application, with participants being especially appreciative of the balance between automated guidance and opportunities for personal input.

  We propose a solution to a substantial and challenging problem in summarization, i.e., recommending a summary for a specific user. The proposed approach, called SumRecom, brings the human into the loop and focuses on three aspects: personalization, interaction, and learning user's interest without the need for reference summaries.

  We propose SummIt, an iterative text summarization framework based on large language models like ChatGPT. Our framework enables the model to refine the generated summary iteratively through self-evaluation and feedback. We also conduct a human evaluation to validate the effectiveness of the iterative refinements and identify a potential issue of over-correction.

Our generator gives a precise control over the length of the summary, which is especially well-suited when space is limited. Our selectors are designed to predict the optimal summary length and put special emphasis on faithfulness to the original text.

  This paper proposes an interactive concept-based summarization model, called Adaptive Summaries. The system learns from users' provided information gradually while interacting with the system by giving feedback in an iterative loop. It helps users make high-quality summaries based on their preferences by maximizing the user-desired content in the generated summaries.
