• Authors: Pratik K. Biswas,
• Abstract summary: Sumomarization is the process of condensing a piece of text to fewer sentences, while still preserving its content. This paper presents an indigenously developed hybrid method that combines extractive and abstractive summarization techniques. Tests, evaluations, comparisons, and validation have demonstrated the efficacy of this approach for large-scale deployment of chat transcript summarization.

• Abstract: Text summarization is the process of condensing a piece of text to fewer sentences, while still preserving its content. Chat transcript, in this context, is a textual copy of a digital or online conversation between a customer (caller) and agent(s). This paper presents an indigenously (locally) developed hybrid method that first combines extractive and abstractive summarization techniques in compressing ill-punctuated or un-punctuated chat transcripts to produce more readable punctuated summaries and then optimizes the overall quality of summarization through reinforcement learning. Extensive testing, evaluations, comparisons, and validation have demonstrated the efficacy of this approach for large-scale deployment of chat transcript summarization, in the absence of manually generated reference (annotated) summaries.

  Aspect-based meeting transcript summarization aims to produce multiple summaries. Traditional summarization methods produce one summary mixing information of all aspects. We propose a two-stage method for aspect-based meeting transcript summarization.

• Rank Your Summaries: Enhancing Bengali Text Summarization via Ranking-based Approach [0.0]
  This paper aims to identify the most accurate and informative summary for a given text by utilizing a simple but effective ranking-based approach. We utilize four pre-trained summarization models to generate summaries, followed by applying a text ranking algorithm to identify the most suitable summary. Experimental results suggest that by leveraging the strengths of each pre-trained transformer model, our methodology significantly improves the accuracy and effectiveness of the Bengali text summarization.

  We leverage recent progress on textual entailment models to address this problem for abstractive summarization systems. We use reinforcement learning with reference-free, textual entailment rewards to optimize for factual consistency. Our results, according to both automatic metrics and human evaluation, show that our method considerably improves the faithfulness, salience, and conciseness of the generated summaries.

  Exiting rewriting systems take each extractive sentence as the only input, which is relatively focused but can lose necessary background knowledge and discourse context. We formalize contextualized rewriting as a seq2seq with group-tag alignments, identifying extractive sentences through content-based addressing. Results show that our approach significantly outperforms non-contextualized rewriting systems without requiring reinforcement learning.

  We introduce SNaC, a narrative coherence evaluation framework rooted in fine-grained annotations for long summaries. We develop a taxonomy of coherence errors in generated narrative summaries and collect span-level annotations for 6.6k sentences across 150 book and movie screenplay summaries. Our work provides the first characterization of coherence errors generated by state-of-the-art summarization models and a protocol for eliciting coherence judgments from crowd annotators.

  summarization is the process of shortening a set of textual data computationally, to create a subset (a summary) Existing summarization methods can be roughly divided into two types: extractive and abstractive. An extractive summarizer explicitly selects text snippets from the source document, while an abstractive summarizer generates novel text snippets to convey the most salient concepts prevalent in the source.
