The most recent and precise biological and healthcare knowledge is critical in the current outbreak such as COVID. In today's small world, everyone needs timely and appropriate medical information to prevent contagious diseases. Extraction of important information from medical conversations and dissemination to patients and doctors may benefit in the treatments of doctor tiredness and patient amnesia. Problem: Automatic text summarizing is essential for gaining great knowledge in any topic in an efficient and productive manner. The material included in health records is vital to our understanding of kind illness and its manifestations. Creating a comprehensive and standard kind of content is becoming an unavoidable and crucial problem in the medical process as a result of the massive amounts of fragmented data created in many sectors. Approach: The purpose of this study is to employ NLP‐based deep learning algorithms for text summary that perform well on linguistic text summarization data, and then modify/adapt these for biomedical domain‐specific text summarization. This paper provides an approach developed in‐house for condensing ill‐punctuated or unpunctuated discussion transcripts into more intelligible summaries, which combines topic modelling and phrase selection with punctuation restorations. For autonomous synthesis of medical reports from biomedical transcripts, this research proposes using an end‐to‐end summarization technique, Deep Dense Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM), followed by Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Results: Extensive testing, examination, and comparing have demonstrated that this summarizer works well for medical transcript summarization. The suggested approach achieved an average ROUGE score of 93.5% using a single document summary. Furthermore, by comparing new techniques to previous ones, the utility and accuracy of novel strategies would be shown. The results reveal that models trained on ordinary language provide comparable results on a biomedical testing set, with one model outperforming the linguistic test set. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extractive summarization, a pivotal task in natural language processing, aims to distill essential content from lengthy documents efficiently. Traditional methods often struggle with capturing the nuanced interdependencies between different document elements, which is crucial to producing coherent and contextually rich summaries. This paper introduces Multi-Element Contextual Hypergraph Extractive Summarizer (MCHES), a novel framework designed to address these challenges through an advanced hypergraph-based approach. MCHES constructs a contextual hypergraph where sentences form nodes interconnected by multiple types of hyperedges, including semantic, narrative, and discourse hyperedges. This structure captures complex relationships and maintains narrative flow, enhancing semantic coherence across the summary. The framework incorporates a Contextual Homogenization Module (CHM), which harmonizes features from diverse hyperedges, and a Hypergraph Contextual Attention Module (HCA), which employs a dual-level attention mechanism to focus on the most salient information. The innovative Extractive Read-out Strategy selects the optimal set of sentences to compose the final summary, ensuring that the latter reflects the core themes and logical structure of the original text. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate significant improvements over existing methods. Specifically, MCHES achieves an average ROUGE-1 score of 44.756, a ROUGE-2 score of 24.963, and a ROUGE-L score of 42.477 on the CNN/DailyMail dataset, surpassing the best-performing baseline by 3.662%, 3.395%, and 2.166% respectively. Furthermore, MCHES achieves BERTScore values of 59.995 on CNN/DailyMail, 88.424 on XSum, and 89.285 on PubMed, indicating superior semantic alignment with human-generated summaries. Additionally, MCHES achieves MoverScore values of 87.432 on CNN/DailyMail, 60.549 on XSum, and 59.739 on PubMed, highlighting its effectiveness in maintaining content movement and ordering. These results confirm that the MCHES framework sets a new standard for extractive summarization by leveraging contextual hypergraphs for better narrative and thematic fidelity.

Natural language processing (NLP) performs a vital function in text summarization, a task targeted at refining the crucial information from the massive quantity of textual data. NLP methods allow computers to comprehend and process human language, permitting the development of advanced summarization methods. Text summarization includes the automatic generation of a concise and coherent summary of a specified document or collection of documents. Extracting significant insights from text data is crucial as it provides advanced solutions to end-users and business organizations. Automatic text summarization (ATS) computerizes text summarization by decreasing the initial size of the text without the loss of main data features. Deep learning (DL) approaches exhibited significant performance in abstractive and extractive summarization tasks. This research designed an extractive text summarization using NLP with an optimal DL (ETS-NLPODL) model. The major goal of the ETS-NLPODL technique was to exploit feature selection with a hyperparameter-tuned DL model for summarizing the text. In the ETS-NLPODL technique, an initial step of data preprocessing was involved to convert the input text into a compatible format. Next, a feature extraction process was carried out and the optimal set of features was chosen by the hunger games search optimization (HGSO) algorithm. For text summarization, the ETS-NLPODL model used an attention-based convolutional neural network with a gated recurrent unit (ACNN-GRU) model. Finally, the mountain gazelle optimization (MGO) algorithm was employed for the optimal hyperparameter selection of the ACNNGRU model. The experimental results of the ETS-NLPODL system were examined under the benchmark dataset. The experimentation outcomes pointed out that the ETS-NLPODL technique gained better performance over other methods concerning diverse performance measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Building an efficient summarization and search tool for research articles is a complex task that involves interdisciplinary expertise in NLP, database management, web development, and user experience design. With the rapid growth of the scientific content, manually reading and selecting important content of research articles became challenging. Thus, there is a need for a summarization tool to help scholars reading their content fast along with a search tool that will find important contents and keep them in organized way. To summarize the contents of different articles a summarization tool is proposed in this work that generates extractive and abstractive summaries. Along with summarization a search engine also been proposed in this work that save the searched results in a comma-separated value (CSV) format including the search queries and meta information of articles such as keyword, title, author name, URL, year of publication, abstracts and summaries. These CSVs help users to get idea about article contents in offline mode without reading or searching the whole text. The efficiency of the summarizer tool is evaluated in terms of precision(pr), recall(re) and F-measure(F-m) of Rouge-1(R1), Rouge-2(R2), Rouge_sum(R_sum) and Bertscore(BS) measures for ten research articles. The average pr, re and F-m obtained from BS are 42%, 42% and 42% for extractive summarization and 41%, 41% and 41% for abstractive summarization. This tool will be helpful to research scholars in the collection of literature and the preparation of related work for their research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The difficulty of accurately summarising Assamese text content is a significant barrier in natural language processing (NLP). Manually summarising lengthy Assamese texts is time-consuming and labor-intensive. As a result, automatic text summarization has developed as a critical NLP study topic. In this study, we integrate the Transformer and Self-Attention approaches to develop an abstract text summarization model. This Transformer-based technique uses self-attention approaches to successfully manage co-reference concerns in Assamese text, enhancing overall system understanding. This proposed approach improves the efficiency of text summarization greatly. We exhaustively evaluated the model using the Assamese dataset (AD-50), which contains human-produced summaries, to assess its performance. When compared to current state-of-the-art baseline models, our model outperformed them. On the AD-50 dataset, for example, our suggested model obtained a low training loss of 0.0022 during 20 training epochs, as well as an amazing model accuracy of 47.15 percentage. This research marks a substantial advancement in the field of Assamese abstractive text summarization, with intriguing implications for practical applications in NLP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fine-tuning a pre-trained sequence-to-sequence-based language model has significantly advanced the field of abstractive summarization. However, the early models of abstractive summarization were limited by the gap between training and inference, and they did not fully utilize the potential of the language model. Recent studies have introduced a two-stage framework that allows the second-stage model to re-rank the candidate summary generated by the first-stage model, to resolve these limitations. In this study, we point out that the supervision method performed in the existing re-ranking model of the two-stage abstractive summarization framework cannot learn detailed and complex information of the data. In addition, we present the problem of positional bias in the existing encoder–decoder-based re-ranking model. To address these two limitations, this study proposes a hierarchical supervision method that jointly performs summary and sentence-level supervision. For sentence-level supervision, we designed two sentence-level loss functions: intra- and inter-intra-sentence ranking losses. Compared to the existing abstractive summarization model, the proposed method exhibited a performance improvement for both the CNN/DM and XSum datasets. The proposed model outperformed the baseline model under a few-shot setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

(1) Background: Information overload challenges decision-making in the Industry 4.0 era. While Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially Automatic Text Summarization (ATS), offers solutions, issues with factual accuracy persist. This research bridges cognitive neuroscience and NLP, aiming to improve model interpretability. (2) Methods: This research examined four fact extraction techniques: dependency relation, named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, and TF-IDF, in order to explore their correlation with human EEG signals. Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) was applied to gauge the relationship between language models and brain activity. (3) Results: Named entity recognition showed the highest sensitivity to EEG signals, marking the most significant differentiation between factual and non-factual words with a score of −0.99. The dependency relation followed with −0.90, while part-of-speech tagging and TF-IDF resulted in 0.07 and −0.52, respectively. Deep language models such as GloVe, BERT, and GPT-2 exhibited noticeable influences on RSA scores, highlighting the nuanced interplay between brain activity and these models. (4) Conclusions: Our findings emphasize the crucial role of named entity recognition and dependency relations in fact extraction and demonstrate the independent effects of different models and TOIs on RSA scores. These insights aim to refine algorithms to reflect human text processing better, thereby enhancing ATS models' factual integrity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explains the existing approaches employed for (automatic) text summarization. The summarizing method is part of the natural language processing (NLP) field and is applied to the source document to produce a compact version that preserves its aggregate meaning and key concepts. On a broader scale, approaches for text-based summarization are categorized into two groups: abstractive and extractive. In abstractive summarization, the main contents of the input text are paraphrased, possibly using vocabulary that is not present in the source document, while in extractive summarization, the output summary is a subset of the input text and is generated by using the sentence ranking technique. In this paper, the main ideas behind the existing methods used for abstractive and extractive summarization are discussed broadly. A comparative study of these methods is also highlighted.

Text summarization research is significant and challenging in the domain of natural language processing. Abstractive text summarization mainly uses the encoder-decoder framework, wherein the encoder component does not have a sufficient semantic comprehension of the input text, and there are exposure biases and semantic inconsistencies between the reference and generated summaries during the training process. We propose an improved encoder-decoder model that incorporates a hierarchical attention mechanism and multiobjective reinforcement learning. The encoder introduces a multihead self-attention mechanism to allow for the acquisition of more comprehensive semantic information from multiple angles and dimensions, while the decoder introduces a pointer-generator network to solve the out-of-vocabulary problem. Multiobjective reinforcement learning methods are constructed throughout the training process to optimize the model in terms of addressing exposure bias, maintaining semantic consistency, and enhancing readability. The results of the comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed model significantly improved in terms of the ROUGE evaluation metric, and the generated summaries were semantically similar to the reference summaries.

Text summarization is a widely-researched problem among scholars in the field of natural language processing. Multiple techniques have been proposed to help tackle this problem, yet some of these methodologies may still exhibit limitations such as the requirements for large training datasets, which might not always be possible, but more importantly, the lack of interpretability or transparency of the model. In this paper, we propose using meta-learning algorithm to train a deep learning model for extractive text summarization and then using various explanatory techniques such as SHAP (Shapley, 1953), linear regression (Lederer, 2022), decision trees (Fürnkranz, 2010), and input modification to gain insights into the model's decision making process. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we will compare it to other popular natural language processing models like BERT (Miller, 2019) or XLNET (Yang et al., 2020) using the ROUGE metrics (Lin, 2004). Overall, our proposed approach provides a promising solution to the limitations of existing methods and a framework for improving the explainability of deep learning models in other natural language processing tasks. • Bi-LSTM and Meta-learning produce better results compared to other popular models. • Meta-learning can be utilized to improve performance in data-scarce scenarios. • Use SHAP, regression, decision tree, and text mutation to enhance interpretability.

Opinion summarization recapitulates the opinions about a common topic automatically. The primary motive of summarization is to preserve the properties of the text and is shortened in a way with no loss in the semantics of the text. The need of automatic summarization efficiently resulted in increased interest among communities of Natural Language Processing and Text Mining. This paper emphasis on building an extractive summarization system combining the features of principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction and bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks and Long Short-Term Memory (RNN-LSTM) deep learning model for short and exact synopsis using seq2seq model. It presents a paradigm shift with regard to the way extractive summaries are generated. Novel algorithms for word extraction using assertions are proposed. The semantic framework is well-grounded in this research facilitating the correct decision making process after reviewing huge amount of online reviews, considering all its important features into account. The advantages of the proposed solution provides greater computational efficiency, better inferences from social media, data understanding, robustness and handling sparse data. Experiments on the different datasets also outperforms the previous researches and the accuracy is claimed to achieve more than the baselines, showing the efficiency and the novelty in the research paper. The comparisons are done by calculating accuracy with different baselines using Rouge tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the development of pre-trained language models and large-scale datasets, automatic text summarization has attracted much attention from the community of natural language processing, but the progress of automatic summarization evaluation has stagnated. Although there have been efforts to improve automatic summarization evaluation, ROUGE has remained one of the most popular metrics for nearly 20 years due to its competitive evaluation performance. However, ROUGE is not perfect, there are studies have shown that it is suffering from inaccurate evaluation of abstractive summarization and limited diversity of generated summaries, both caused by lexical bias. To avoid the bias of lexical similarity, more and more meaningful embedding-based metrics have been proposed to evaluate summaries by measuring semantic similarity. Due to the challenge of accurately measuring semantic similarity, none of them can fully replace ROUGE as the default automatic evaluation toolkit for text summarization. To address the aforementioned problems, we propose a compromise evaluation framework (ROUGE-SEM) for improving ROUGE with semantic information, which compensates for the lack of semantic awareness through a semantic similarity module. According to the differences in semantic similarity and lexical similarity, summaries are classified into four categories for the first time, including good-summary, pearl-summary, glass-summary, and bad-summary. In particular, the back-translation technique is adopted to rewrite pearl-summary and glass-summary that are inaccurately evaluated by ROUGE to alleviate lexical bias. Through this pipeline framework, summaries are first classified by candidate summary classifier, then rewritten by categorized summary rewriter, and finally scored by rewritten summary scorer, which are efficiently evaluated in a manner consistent with human behavior. When measured using Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall rank coefficients, our proposal achieves comparable or higher correlations with human judgments than several state-of-the-art automatic summarization evaluation metrics in dimensions of coherence, consistency, fluency, and relevance. This also suggests that improving ROUGE with semantics is a promising direction for automatic summarization evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
