Challenge: Existing methods for generating content specific summarization assume a fixed set of known aspects.
Approach: They propose a dynamic aspect-based summarization framework that optimizes aspect number prediction and minimizes disparity between generated and reference summaries.
Outcome: The proposed method outperforms baselines on three diverse datasets on different aspects of the input text.
