Title: | Retrieve, rerank and rewrite : soft template based neural summarization | Authors: | Cao, Z Li, W Wei, F Li, S |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Source: | In Proceedings of the 56th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Melbourne, Australia, 15-20 July 2018, (Vol. 1: Long Papers) , p. 152-161. Stroudsburg : Association for Computational Linguistics, 2018. | Abstract: | Most previous seq2seq summarization systems purely depend on the source text to generate summaries, which tends to work unstably. Inspired by the traditional template-based summarization approaches, this paper proposes to use existing summaries as soft templates to guide the seq2seq model. To this end, we use a popular IR platform to Retrieve proper summaries as candidate templates. Then, we extend the seq2seq framework to jointly conduct template Reranking and template-aware summary generation (Rewriting). Experiments show that, in terms of informativeness, our model significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods, and even soft templates themselves demonstrate high competitiveness. In addition, the import of high-quality external summaries improves the stability and readability of generated summaries. | Publisher: | Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) | DOI: | 10.18653/v1/p18-1015 | Rights: | © 2017 Association for Computational Linguistics ACL materials are Copyright © 1963–2021 ACL; other materials are copyrighted by their respective copyright holders.
