Challenge: Existing methods for review generation lack topical and syntactic characteristics of natural languages.
Approach: They propose a review generation model that uses aspect semantics, syntactic sketch, and context information to generate a sentence and corresponding words.
Outcome: The proposed model can generate long and informative review text for users given a product and her/his rating on it.

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.
