A Selectable and Interactive Model for Abstractive Summarization
Xi Zhang
Abstract
Sequence-to-sequence neural networks with attention have been widely used in text summarization as the amount of textual data has exploded in recent years. The traditional approach to automatic sum-marization is based only on word attention and most of them focus on generating a single sentence summarization. In this work, we propose a novel model with a dual attention that considers both sentence and word information and then generates a multi-sentence summarization word by word. Additionally, we enhance our model with a copy-generator network to solve the out-of-vocabulary (OOV) problem. The model shows signif-icant performance gains on the CNN/DailyMail corpus compared with the baseline model. Experimental results demonstrate that our method can obtain ROUGE-1 points of 37.48, ROUGE-2 points of 16.40 and ROUGE-L points of 34.36. Our work shows that several features of our proposed model contribute to further improvements in performance.
