Document Summarization

195 papers with code • 7 benchmarks • 28 datasets

Automatic Document Summarization is the task of rewriting a document into its shorter form while still retaining its important content. The most popular two paradigms are extractive approaches and abstractive approaches. Extractive approaches generate summaries by extracting parts of the original document (usually sentences), while abstractive methods may generate new words or phrases which are not in the original document.

Generating (Factual?) Narrative Summaries of RCTs: Experiments with Neural Multi-Document Summarization

allenai/mslr-shared-task 25 Aug 2020

We enlist medical professionals to evaluate generated summaries, and we find that modern summarization systems yield consistently fluent and relevant synopses, but that they are not always factual.

Global-aware Beam Search for Neural Abstractive Summarization

yema2018/global_aware NeurIPS 2021

A global scoring mechanism is then developed to regulate beam search to generate summaries in a near-global optimal fashion.

Quantitative Argument Summarization and Beyond: Cross-Domain Key Point Analysis

ibm/kpa_2021_shared_task EMNLP 2020

Recent work has proposed to summarize arguments by mapping them to a small set of expert-generated key points, where the salience of each key point corresponds to the number of its matching arguments.

MS2: Multi-Document Summarization of Medical Studies

allenai/ms2 13 Apr 2021

In support of this goal, we release MS^2 (Multi-Document Summarization of Medical Studies), a dataset of over 470k documents and 20k summaries derived from the scientific literature.

PRIMERA: Pyramid-based Masked Sentence Pre-training for Multi-document Summarization

allenai/primer ACL 2022

We introduce PRIMERA, a pre-trained model for multi-document representation with a focus on summarization that reduces the need for dataset-specific architectures and large amounts of fine-tuning labeled data.

Summ^N: A Multi-Stage Summarization Framework for Long Input Dialogues and Documents

psunlpgroup/summ-n ACL 2022

To the best of our knowledge, Summ$^N$ is the first multi-stage split-then-summarize framework for long input summarization.

Proposition-Level Clustering for Multi-Document Summarization

oriern/procluster NAACL 2022

Text clustering methods were traditionally incorporated into multi-document summarization (MDS) as a means for coping with considerable information repetition.

Neural Summarization by Extracting Sentences and Words

adrian9631/TextSumma ACL 2016

Traditional approaches to extractive summarization rely heavily on human-engineered features.
