A learning-based approach to summarization

Опубликовано 6 сентября 2016, 5:18

Research in summarization has been handicapped by a lack of agreement on how to generate a standard summary (which can serve as a reference in the evaluation of alternative approaches). Part of the problem rests in disagreement between different humans on what constitutes a single good summary. We propose an alternate approach that dispenses with the need for a global reference and instead focuses on the ability of a summarizer to rapidly learn how an individual human summarizes material.
