• Title: SumRecom: A Personalized Summarization Approach by Learning from Users' Feedback
• Authors: Samira Ghodratnama, Mehrdad Zakershahrak,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Existing multi-document summarization approaches produce a uniform summary for all users without considering individuals' interests, which is highly impractical. Making a user-specific summary is a challenging task as it requires: i) acquiring relevant information about a user; ii) aggregating and integrating the information into a user-model; and iii) utilizing the provided information in making the personalized summary. Therefore, in this paper, 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. SumRecom has two steps: i) The user preference extractor to capture users' inclination in choosing essential concepts, and ii) The summarizer to discover the user's best-fitted summary based on the given feedback. Various automatic and human evaluations on the benchmark dataset demonstrate the supremacy SumRecom in generating user-specific summaries. Document summarization and Interactive summarization and Personalized summarization and Reinforcement learning.

  Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in generating user summaries from a long list of raw user activity data. These summaries capture essential user information such as preferences and interests, and are invaluable for personalization applications. However, the development of new summarization techniques is hindered by the lack of ground-truth labels, the inherent subjectivity of user summaries, and human evaluation.

  Table summarization is a crucial task aimed at condensing information into concise and comprehensible textual summaries. We propose a novel method to address these limitations by introducing query-focused multi-table summarization. Our approach, which comprises a table serialization module, a summarization controller, and a large language model, generates query-dependent table summaries tailored to users' information needs.
