Large-Scale Multi-Document Summarization with Information Extraction and Compression
(2205.00548)Abstract
We develop an abstractive summarization framework independent of labeled data for multiple heterogeneous documents. Unlike existing multi-document summarization methods, our framework processes documents telling different stories instead of documents on the same topic. We also enhance an existing sentence fusion method with a uni-directional language model to prioritize fused sentences with higher sentence probability with the goal of increasing readability. Lastly, we construct a total of twelve dataset variations based on CNN/Daily Mail and the NewsRoom datasets, where each document group contains a large and diverse collection of documents to evaluate the performance of our model in comparison with other baseline systems. Our experiments demonstrate that our framework outperforms current state-of-the-art methods in this more generic setting.
