Reconstruct Before Summarize: An Efficient Two-Step Framework for Condensing and Summarizing Meeting Transcripts (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to meeting summarization are limited due to noise, lengthy transcripts, and scattered salient information. |
| Approach: | They propose a two-step framework for meeting summarization that leverages a self-supervised paradigm to reconstruct transcripts and a relative positional bucketing algorithm to equip models to generate the summary. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method significantly reduces memory consumption and processing time on two meeting summarization datasets. |

| Challenge: | a novel graph-based framework for abstractive meeting speech summarization is developed . instead of grammatical, well-segmented sentences, the input is made of often ill-formed and ungrammatically ungrammatized text fragments called utterances. |
| Approach: | They propose a graph-based framework for abstractive meeting speech summarization that is fully unsupervised and does not rely on annotations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves on the state-of-the-art on the AMI and ICSI corpus. |
