OTExtSum: Extractive Text Summarisation with Optimal Transport (2022.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Extractive text summarisation aims to select salient sentences from a document to form a short yet informative summary. |
| Approach: | They propose to formulate extractive text summarisation as an Optimal Transport (OT) problem and use it to obtain an optimal summary that minimises the transportation cost to a given document. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods and learning-based methods on multiNews, PubMed, BillSum, and CNN/DM datasets. |
