• Abstract summary: The centroid method is a simple approach for extractive multi-document summarization. We refine it by adding a beam search process to the sentence selection and also a centroid estimation attention model that leads to improved results.

• Abstract: The centroid method is a simple approach for extractive multi-document summarization and many improvements to its pipeline have been proposed. We further refine it by adding a beam search process to the sentence selection and also a centroid estimation attention model that leads to improved results. We demonstrate this in several multi-document summarization datasets, including in a multilingual scenario.

  We propose a systematic way to estimate the intrinsic capacity of a truncation sampling method by considering the trade-off between diversity and risk at each decoding step. Our work provides a comprehensive comparison between existing truncation sampling methods, as well as their recommended parameters as a guideline for users.

  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.
