Enhancing Multi-Document Summarization with Cross-Document Graph-based Information Extraction (2023.eacl-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Information extraction (IE) and summarization (summarization) are closely related, but both aims to abstract the most salient information into a generated text summary.
Approach: They propose to use structured IE graphs to enhance the abstractive summarization task by using cross-document IE output to incorporate an alignment loss between IE nodes and their text spans to reduce inconsistencies.
Outcome: The proposed model can generate summaries that are more factual while not losing abstractiveness.
