Iterative Document Representation Learning Towards Summarization with Polishing (D18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing summarization methods read through document only once to generate a document representation, resulting in a sub-optimal representation. |
| Approach: | They propose an iterative model for supervised extractive text summarization which polishes the document representation on many passes through the document. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art extractive systems on CNN/DailyMail and DUC2002 datasets. |
