| Challenge: | Existing approaches to generate general and aspect-specific opinion summarization are limited due to their reliance on human-specified aspects and seed words. |
| Approach: | They propose synthetic dataset creation approaches for general and aspect-specific opinion summarization . general opinion summaries struggle to generate faithful to the input reviews, they say . aspect- specific opinion summarisation models are limited due to reliance on human-specified aspects . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms existing models on three e-commerce test sets on general and aspect-specific opinion summarization. |
Unsupervised Opinion Summarization as Copycat-Review Generation (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work on opinion summarization has focused on extracting fragments from reviews, but we use novel sentences to generate abstractive summaries. |
| Approach: | They propose an abstractive summarizer which does not use summaries in training and is trained end-to-end on a large collection of reviews. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model produces fluent and coherent summaries reflecting consensus opinions on Amazon and Yelp reviews. |
