Heterogeneous Graph Neural Networks for Extractive Document Summarization (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models capture cross-sentence relations with recurrent neural networks, but they are hard to capture sentence-level long-distance dependency. |
| Approach: | They propose a graph-based neural network for extractive summarization which contains semantic nodes apart from sentences. |
| Outcome: | The proposed graph-based neural network is the first to incorporate different types of nodes into it and perform a qualitative analysis. |
CDEvalSumm: An Empirical Study of Cross-Dataset Evaluation for Neural Summarization Systems (2020.findings-emnlp)

| Challenge: | Existing evaluation methods for text summarization systems are limited to in-domain setting, where supervised pre-trained models are evaluated on the same dataset. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a cross-dataset evaluation approach to evaluate different summarization systems in a multi-domain setting. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can be used to evaluate text summarization systems on different datasets. |

Neural Math Word Problem Solver with Reinforcement Learning (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing models for solving math word problems rely on predefined rules or feature engineering. |
| Approach: | They propose to incorporate copy and alignment mechanism into the sequence-to-sequence model to address two shortcomings . they use model output as a feature and incorporate it into the feature-based model to explore the effectiveness . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art models on the problem solving task. |

Extractive Summarization as Text Matching (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Currently, most of the neural extractive summarization systems score and extract sentences individually and model the relationship between sentences. |
| Approach: | They propose to instantiate a neural extractive summarization task as a semantic text matching problem and use it to match a source document and candidate summaries in a semantic space. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework is faster and more efficient than existing frameworks. |
