Other Roles Matter! Enhancing Role-Oriented Dialogue Summarization via Role Interactions (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for role-oriented dialogue summarization ignore information from other roles, resulting in omitted information. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel method that uses cross attention and decoder self-attention interactions to acquire other roles' critical information. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly outperforms baselines on two public role-oriented dialogue summarization datasets. |

Improving Role-Oriented Dialogue Summarization with Interaction-Aware Contrastive Learning (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for encoding dialogues do not capture interaction information between roles, thus ignore interaction-related key information. |
| Approach: | They propose a contrastive learning based interaction-aware model for the role-oriented dialogue summarization namely CIAM and use it to train the decoder to learn role-level interaction. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model captures interaction information between different roles and produces informative summaries on two public datasets. |
