Towards Annotating and Creating Summary Highlights at Sub-sentence Level (D19-54)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Creating summary highlights at the sub-sentence level is desirable because sub-entrances are more concise than whole sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose to annotate summary-worthy sub-sentences and teach classifiers to do the same . they frame task as selecting important sentences and identifying a single most informative textual unit from each sentence. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method reduces the complexity involved in sentence compression by reducing the number of words and phrases deleted. |

Exploiting Discourse-Level Segmentation for Extractive Summarization (D19-54)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to extract summarize text are based on sentences as the elementary unit, but semantic segments containing supplementary information or descriptive details are often nonessential in the generated summaries. |
| Approach: | They propose to exploit discourse-level segmentation as a finer-grained means to more precisely pinpoint the core content in a document. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves extractive summarization performance on CNN/Daily Mail dataset. |
