Amharic is one of the under‐resourced languages, making news headline generation particularly challenging due to the scarcity of high‐quality linguistic datasets necessary for training effective natural language processing models. In this study, we fine‐tuned the small check point of the T5v1.1 model (t5‐small) to perform Amharic news headline generation with an Amharic dataset that is comprised of over 70k news articles along with their headline. Fine‐tuning the model involves dataset collection from Amharic news websites, text cleaning, news article size optimization using the TF‐IDF algorithm, and tokenization. In addition, a tokenizer model is developed using the byte pair encoding (BPE) algorithm prior to feeding the dataset for feature extraction and summarization. Metrics including Rouge‐L, BLEU, and Meteor were used to evaluate the performance of the model and a score of 0.5, 0.24, and 0.71, respectively, was achieved on the test partition of the dataset that contains 7230 instances. The results were good relative to result of the t5 model without fine‐tuning, which are 0.1, 0.03, and 0.14, respectively. A postprocessing technique using a rule‐based approach was used for further improving summaries generated by the model. The addition of the postprocessing helped the system to achieve Rouge‐L, BLEU, and Meteor scores of 0.72, 0.52, and 0.81, respectively. The result value is relatively better than the result achieved by the nonfine‐tuned T5v1.1 model and the result of previous studies report on abstractive‐based text summarization for Amharic language, which had a 0.27 Rouge‐L score. This contributes a valuable insight for practical application and further improvement of the model in the future by increasing the article length, using more training data, using machine learning–based adaptive postprocessing techniques, and fine‐tuning other available pretrained models for text summarization.

A vast amount of textual information on the internet has amplified the importance of text summarization models. Abstractive summarization generates original words and sentences that may not exist in the source document to be summarized. Such abstractive models may suffer from shortcomings such as linguistic acceptability and hallucinations. Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) is a metric commonly used to evaluate abstractive summarization models. However, due to its n-gram-based approach, it ignores several critical linguistic aspects. In this work, we propose Similarity, Entailment, and Acceptability Score (SEAScore), an automatic evaluation metric for evaluating abstractive text summarization models using the power of state-of-the-art pre-trained language models. SEAScore comprises three language models (LMs) that extract meaningful linguistic features from candidate and reference summaries and a weighted sum aggregator that computes an evaluation score. Experimental results show that our LM-based SEAScore metric correlates better with human judgment than standard evaluation metrics such as ROUGE-N and BERTScore. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Identifying and extracting valuable information from textual documents in the form of cohesively and appropriately developed summaries is one of the most challenging tasks in text mining and natural language processing. In this article, we present a sequential Markov model, equipped with Bayesian inference, to estimate the degree of importance of sentences in a document and thereby address the text summarisation problem. The proposed methodology models the extractive sentence summarisation as a Bayesian state estimation problem, where the system state is the importance degree of each sentence in a document. The transition and observation models are derived using a nonlinear dynamical system identification based on a recurrent feedback neural model that predicts the sentence observation using the sentence input data. In the end, the transition and observation probability density functions are modelled using a mixture density network. The performance assessment of the system has been carried out by investigating the optimal feature dimensionality and the impact of the model parameters on the system accuracy, using entropy-based risk and loss-based risk measures. Finally, the superiority of the proposed methodology over the state of the art in extractive summarisation is discussed and verified by reporting the recall, precision and accuracy on the real-world benchmark data sets.

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]

Generating diverse and factual text is challenging and is receiving increasing attention. By sampling from the latent space, variational autoencoder-based models have recently enhanced the diversity of generated text. However, existing research predominantly depends on summarization models to offer paragraph-level semantic information for enhancing factual correctness. The challenge lies in effectively generating factual text using sentence-level variational autoencoder-based models. In this paper, a novel model called fact-aware conditional variational autoencoder is proposed to balance the factual correctness and diversity of generated text. Specifically, our model encodes the input sentences and uses them as facts to build a conditional variational autoencoder network. By training a conditional variational autoencoder network, the model is enabled to generate text based on input facts. Building upon this foundation, the input text is passed to the discriminator along with the generated text. By employing adversarial training, the model is encouraged to generate text that is indistinguishable to the discriminator, thereby enhancing the quality of the generated text. To further improve the factual correctness, inspired by the natural language inference system, the entailment recognition task is introduced to be trained together with the discriminator via multi-task learning. Moreover, based on the entailment recognition results, a penalty term is further proposed to reconstruct the loss of our model, forcing the generator to generate text consistent with the facts. Experimental results demonstrate that compared with competitive models, our model has achieved substantial improvements in both the quality and factual correctness of the text, despite only sacrificing a small amount of diversity. Furthermore, when considering a comprehensive evaluation of diversity and quality metrics, our model has also demonstrated the best performance. [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]

Due to the enormous content of text available online through emails, social media, and news articles, it has become complicated to summarize the textual information from multiple documents. Text summarization automatically creates a comprehensive description of the document that retains its informative contents through the keywords, where Multi-Document Summarization (MDS) is a productive tool for data accumulation that creates a concise and informative summary from the documents. In order to extract the relevant information from the documents, Graph neural networks (GNNs) is the neural structure that detains the interrelation of the graph by progressing the messages between the graphical nodes. In the current years, the advanced version of GNNs, such as graph attention network (GAN), graph recurrent network, and graph convolutional network (GCN) provides a remarkable performance in text summarization with the advantage of deep learning techniques. Hence, in this survey, graph approaches for text summarization has been analyzed and discussed, where the recent text summarization model based on Deep learning techniques are highlighted. Further, the article provides the taxonomy to abstract the design pattern of Neural Networks and conducts a comprehensive of the existing text summarization model. Finally, the review article enlists the future direction of the researcher, which would motivate the enthusiastic and novel contributions in text summarizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, deep learning has revolutionized natural language processing (NLP) by enabling the development of models that can learn complex representations of language data, leading to significant improvements in performance across a wide range of NLP tasks. Deep learning models for NLP typically use large amounts of data to train deep neural networks, allowing them to learn the patterns and relationships in language data. This is in contrast to traditional NLP approaches, which rely on hand-engineered features and rules to perform NLP tasks. The ability of deep neural networks to learn hierarchical representations of language data, handle variable-length input sequences, and perform well on large datasets makes them well-suited for NLP applications. Driven by the exponential growth of textual data and the increasing demand for condensed, coherent, and informative summaries, text summarization has been a critical research area in the field of NLP. Applying deep learning to text summarization refers to the use of deep neural networks to perform text summarization tasks. In this survey, we begin with a review of fashionable text summarization tasks in recent years, including extractive, abstractive, multi-document, and so on. Next, we discuss most deep learning-based models and their experimental results on these tasks. The paper also covers datasets and data representation for summarization tasks. Finally, we delve into the opportunities and challenges associated with summarization tasks and their corresponding methodologies, aiming to inspire future research efforts to advance the field further. A goal of our survey is to explain how these methods differ in their requirements as understanding them is essential for choosing a technique suited for a specific setting. This survey aims to provide a comprehensive review of existing techniques, evaluation methodologies, and practical applications of automatic text summarization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Customer review summarization (CRS) offers business owners summarized customer feedback. The functionality of CRS mainly depends on the sentiment analysis (SA) model; hence it needs an efficient SA technique. The aim of this study is to construct an SA model employing deep learning for CRS (SADL-CRS) to present summarized data and assist businesses in understanding the behavior of their customers. The SA model employing deep learning (SADL) and CRS phases make up the proposed automatic SADL-CRS model. The SADL consists of review preprocessing, feature extraction, and sentiment classification. The preprocessing stage removes irrelevant text from the reviews using natural language processing (NLP) methods. The proposed hybrid approach combines review-related features and aspect-related features to efficiently extract the features and create a unique hybrid feature vector (HF) for each review. The classification of input reviews is performed using a deep learning (DL) classifier long short-term memory (LSTM). The CRS phase performs the automatic summarization employing the outcome of SADL. The experimental evaluation of the proposed model is done using diverse research data sets. The SADL-CRS model attains the average recall, precision, and F1-score of 95.53%, 95.76%, and 95.06%, respectively. The review summarization efficiency of the suggested model is improved by 6.12% compared to underlying CRS methods. [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]

Text mining techniques are used for trend prediction using keyword analysis; however, these processes result in the formation of relevant and irrelevant keywords. Based on the keywords, various clusters are formed, resulting in various topics. Due to the presence of irrelevant keywords, there are chances of the formation of wrong topics. To overcome this problem, this research contributes to developing an algorithm that deals with topic prediction using a noble technique wherein text summarization is inculcated into topic modeling algorithms. This research focuses on implementing text summarizing to generate summaries of published publications by diverse researchers using the Genism library with an extractive text summarization approach and then applying text mining to it to predict trends in various fields. The current approach was compared with existing techniques based on the parameters used in automatic and semi-automatic text mining techniques. [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]

Text summarization (TS) plays a crucial role in natural language processing (NLP) by automatically condensing and capturing key information from text documents. Its significance extends to diverse fields, including engineering, healthcare, and others, where it offers substantial time and resource savings. However, manual summarization is a laborious task, prompting the need for automated text summarization systems. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for extractive summarization that leverages a generative adversarial network (GAN)-based method and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) word embedding. BERT, a transformer-based architecture, processes sentence bidirectionally, considering both preceding and following words. This contextual understanding empowers BERT to generate word representations that carry a deeper meaning and accurately reflect their usage within specific contexts. Our method adopts a generator and discriminator within the GAN framework. The generator assesses the likelihood of each sentence in the summary while the discriminator evaluates the generated summary. To extract meaningful features in parallel, we introduce three dilated convolution layers in the generator and discriminator. Dilated convolution allows for capturing a larger context and incorporating long-range dependencies. By introducing gaps between filter weights, dilated convolution expands the receptive field, enabling the model to consider a broader context of words. To encourage the generator to explore diverse sentence combinations that lead to high-quality summaries, we introduce various noises to each document within our proposed GAN. This approach allows the generator to learn from a range of sentence permutations and select the most suitable ones. We evaluate the performance of our proposed model using the CNN/Daily Mail dataset. The results, measured using the ROUGE metric, demonstrate the superiority of our approach compared to other tested methods. This confirms the effectiveness of our GAN-based strategy, which integrates dilated convolution layers, BERT word embedding, and a generator-discriminator framework in achieving enhanced extractive summarization performance.

Automatic summarization of news articles plays a crucial role in information retrieval and consumption. This research paper presents an approach for summarizing Google News articles across four distinct classes: business, sports, entertainment, and technology. We collect a set of news items from these categories by utilizing the T5 Transformer model. The acquired articles are preprocessed and turned into a text-to-text format, where the complete article text is the input and a succinct summary is the desired output. The T5 model may be improved on this dataset to produce precise and useful summaries for each news category. Moreover, the generated summaries are accompanied by links that direct users to the original articles, providing an option for accessing the complete content. Experimental evaluation using established metrics demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach in generating high-quality summaries across different news domains. This research contributes to improving information retrieval and consumption by providing users with succinct summaries while retaining the option to explore the full article for more in-depth information.

(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.

Aiming at the problems of traditional text abstract extraction algorithms for processing long text of Chinese patents and unsatisfactory results of long abstract generation, the PatBertSum algorithm is proposed, which enables the algorithm to process long (more than 1500 words) patent text with high efficiency and generate high-quality long (more than 200 words) text summaries. The method is based on the improved BertSum algorithm model, using the new CLTPDS patented text dataset, processing long texts by Head-Tail, transforming Chinese input representations, generating sentence vectors using a pre-trained model, and capturing internal text features and text structure features to extract summaries. Experimentally, this paper demonstrates that the method has improved the recall and F-value of ROUGE by more than 8 percentage points compared with existing methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Automatic text summarization (ATS) plays a significant role in Natural Language Processing (NLP). Abstractive summarization produces summaries by identifying and compressing the most important information in a document. However, there are only relatively several comprehensively evaluated abstractive summarization models that work well for specific types of reports due to their unstructured and oral language text characteristics. In particular, Chinese complaint reports, generated by urban complainers and collected by government employees, describe existing resident problems in daily life. Meanwhile, the reflected problems are required to respond speedily. Therefore, automatic summarization tasks for these reports have been developed. However, similar to traditional summarization models, the generated summaries still exist problems of informativeness and conciseness. To address these issues and generate suitably informative and less redundant summaries, a topic-based abstractive summarization method is proposed to obtain global and local features. Additionally, a heterogeneous graph of the original document is constructed using word-level and topic-level features. Experiments and analyses on public review datasets (Yelp and Amazon) and our constructed dataset (Chinese complaint reports) show that the proposed framework effectively improves the performance of the abstractive summarization model for Chinese complaint reports. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The automatic text summarization task faces great challenges. The main issue in the area is to identify the most informative segments in the input text. Establishing an effective evaluation mechanism has also been identified as a major challenge in the area. Currently, the mainstream solution is to use deep learning for training. However, a serious exposure bias in training prevents them from achieving better results. Therefore, this paper introduces an extractive text summarization model based on a graph matrix and advantage actor-critic (GA2C) method. The articles were pre-processed to generate a graph matrix. Based on the states provided by the graph matrix, the decision-making network made decisions and sent the results to the evaluation network for scoring. The evaluation network got the decision results of the decision-making network and then scored them. The decision-making network modified the probability of the action based on the scores of the evaluation network. Specifically, compared with the baseline reinforcement learning-based extractive summarization (Refresh) model, experimental results on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset showed that the GA2C model led on Rouge-1, Rouge-2 and Rouge-A by 0.70, 9.01 and 2.73, respectively. Moreover, we conducted multiple ablation experiments to verify the GA2C model from different perspectives. Different activation functions and evaluation networks were used in the GA2C model to obtain the best activation function and evaluation network. Two different reward functions (Set fixed reward value for accumulation (ADD), Rouge) and two different similarity matrices (cosine, Jaccard) were combined for the experiments.

The exponential growth of digital text data has made text summarization an essential tool in various natural language processing applications. Text compaction, a subset of text summarization, is a process that aims to generate concise and coherent summaries while preserving the main information from the source text. In this research paper, we explore different techniques used in text compaction, their applications in the real world, and the potential for future development and improvements.

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.

In the rapidly evolving field of natural language processing, the demand for efficient automated text summarization systems that not only distill extensive documents but also capture their nuanced thematic elements has never been greater. This paper introduces the FuzzyTP-BERT framework, a novel approach in extractive text summarization that synergistically combines Fuzzy Topic Modeling (FuzzyTM) with the advanced capabilities of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). Unlike traditional extractive methods, FuzzyTP-BERT integrates fuzzy logic to refine topic modeling, enhancing the semantic sensitivity of summaries by allowing a more nuanced representation of word-topic relationships. This integration results in summaries that are not only coherent but also thematically rich, addressing a significant gap in current summarization technology. Extensive evaluations on benchmark datasets demonstrate that FuzzyTP-BERT significantly outperforms existing models in terms of ROUGE scores, effectively balancing topical relevance with semantic coherence. Our findings suggest that incorporating fuzzy logic into deep learning frameworks can markedly improve the quality of automated text summaries, potentially benefiting a wide range of applications in the information overload age.

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]

Opinion mining aims to detect and extract relevant information from large quantity of customer reviews. Automatic opinion summarization then seeks to create a consensual point of view often oriented toward the main sentiment of clients to render their experience. Although factual information is valuable for companies to understand what works or not in their products, summarization approaches that convey objectivity, and constructive feedback from customer reviews have yet to be explored. We propose an adversarial multi-task learning model for document summarization to address this new issue. Our algorithm combines an autoencoder for document summarization with a gradient reversal layer to learn independent representations of subjective and sentiment-based material. We assess and compare our method on the Amazon product review dataset where we introduce an original evaluation dataset for objective summarization. We further completed the analysis with neutrality and objectivity metrics. This study demonstrates that the generated summaries carry out relevant and objective content but also emphasize the importance of various processes and layers in multi-task learners to control the information effectively. • Objective opinion summarization of customer reviews. • Unsupervised autoencoder for summarization. • Sentiment disentanglement with gradient reversal layer. • Dataset and metrics to assess neutrality and objectivity of summaries.

The enormous quantity of text makes it challenging for users to obtain the key information and knowledge. Automatic text summarization can alleviate this problem by providing reliable summaries for massive text documents. During the last decade, significant achievements have been made in text summarization. We conduct this survey to explore what research community is focused on, the application scenarios of summarization, the state-of-the-art techniques and methods, and to analyze the challenges and future direction.

Automatic text summarization extracts important information from texts and presents the information in the form of a summary. Abstractive summarization approaches progressed significantly by switching to deep neural networks, but results are not yet satisfactory, especially for languages where large training sets do not exist. In several natural language processing tasks, a cross-lingual model transfer is successfully applied in less-resource languages. For summarization, the cross-lingual model transfer was not attempted due to a non-reusable decoder side of neural models that cannot correct target language generation. In our work, we use a pre-trained English summarization model based on deep neural networks and sequence-to-sequence architecture to summarize Slovene news articles. We address the problem of inadequate decoder by using an additional language model for the evaluation of the generated text in target language. We test several cross-lingual summarization models with different amounts of target data for fine-tuning. We assess the models with automatic evaluation measures and conduct a small-scale human evaluation. Automatic evaluation shows that the summaries of our best cross-lingual model are useful and of quality similar to the model trained only in the target language. Human evaluation shows that our best model generates summaries with high accuracy and acceptable readability. However, similar to other abstractive models, our models are not perfect and may occasionally produce misleading or absurd content. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Broad amount of information is accessible online on the internet. The purpose of search engines like Google and Bing is to retrieve data from archives. The actual results have not yet been reached due to the rapid growth in number of computerized data. Subsequently, the default summary is much needed. The default summary takes several pages as insert and output an abridged version, saving both information and time. In the current age, where immense amount of information is present online, it is much important to give the improved mechanism to draw out the information quickly and more efficiently. It is very tough that people can draw out a summary of large text documents on their own. So, there is a problem in inquiring for appropriate document from all the documents available, and consuming relevant information from it. In order to solve the problem above, the automatic text summarization is very much needed. The practice of extracting the most significant and meaningful information from a document or group of related papers and condensing it while retaining its overall meaning is known as text summarization. Natural Language Processing is defined as the capability of a computer program to acknowledge human language when speaking and writing a language. Natural Language Processing is one of the key components of practical wisdom. It has many applications in various fields and we use it in many real-world applications such as Business Intelligence medical research and much more. We have been using Natural Language Processing for 50 years now. The research was done in one volume and accumulated in many volumes. This research is centered on an idea build on the abbreviations of text summaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstractive dialogue summarization requires distilling and rephrasing key information from noisy multi-speaker documents. Combining pre-trained language models with input augmentation techniques has recently led to significant research progress. However, existing solutions still struggle to select relevant chat segments, primarily relying on open-domain and unsupervised annotators not tailored to the actual needs of the summarization task. In this paper, we propose DearWatson , a task-aware utterance-level annotation framework for improving the effectiveness and interpretability of pre-trained dialogue summarization models. Precisely, we learn relevant utterances in the source document and mark them with special tags, that then act as supporting evidence for the generated summary. Quantitative experiments are conducted on two datasets made up of real-life messenger conversations. The results show that DearWatson allows model attention to focus on salient tokens, achieving new state-of-the-art results in three evaluation metrics, including semantic and factuality measures. Human evaluation proves the superiority of our solution in semantic consistency and recall. Finally, extensive ablation studies confirm each module's importance, also exploring different annotation strategies and parameter-efficient fine-tuning of large generative language models.

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]

To inform the development of automated summarization of clinical conversations, this study sought to estimate the proportion of doctor-patient communication in general practice (GP) consultations used for generating a consultation summary. Two researchers with a medical degree read the transcripts of 44 GP consultations and highlighted the phrases to be used for generating a summary of the consultation. For all consultations, less than 20% of all words in the transcripts were needed for inclusion in the summary. On average, 9.1% of all words in the transcripts, 26.6% of all medical terms, and 27.3% of all speaker turns were highlighted. The results indicate that communication content used for generating a consultation summary makes up a small portion of GP consultations, and automated summarization solutions—such as digital scribes—must focus on identifying the 20% relevant information for automatically generating consultation summaries.

Text summarization is an active research area in the field of natural language processing. Huge amount of information in the internet necessitates the development of automatic summarization systems. There are two types of summarization techniques: Extractive and Abstractive. Extractive summarization selects important sentences from the text and produces summary as it is present in the original document. Abstractive summarization systems will provide a summary of the input text as is generated by human beings. Abstractive summary requires semantic analysis of text. Limited works have been carried out in the area of abstractive summarization in Indian languages especially in Malayalam. Only extractive summarization methods are proposed in Malayalam. In this paper, an abstractive summarization system for Malayalam documents using clause identification method is proposed. As part of this research work, a POS tagger and a morphological analyzer for Malayalam words in cricket domain are also developed. The clauses from input sentences are identified using a modified clause identification algorithm. The clauses are then semantically analyzed using an algorithm to identify semantic triples - subject, object and predicate. The score of each clause is then calculated by using feature extraction and the important clauses which are to be included in the summary are selected based on this score. Finally an algorithm is used to generate the sentences from the semantic triples of the selected clauses which is the abstractive summary of input documents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A long-running event represents a continuous stream of information on a given topic, such as natural disasters, stock market updates, or even ongoing customer relationship. These news stories include hundreds of individual, time-dependent texts. Simultaneously, new technologies have profoundly transformed the way we consume information. The need to obtain quick, relevant, and digest updates continuously has become a crucial issue and creates new challenges for the task of automatic document summarization. To that end, we introduce an innovative unsupervised method based on two competing sequence-to-sequence models to produce short updated summaries. The proposed architecture relies on several parameters to balance the outputs from the two autoencoders. This relation enables the overall model to correlate generated summaries with relevant information coming from both current and previous news iterations. Depending on the model configuration, we are then able to control the novelty or the consistency of terms included in generated summaries. We evaluate our method on a modified version of the TREC 2013, 2014, and 2015 datasets to track continuous events from a single source. We not only achieve state-of-the-art performance similar to other more complex unsupervised sentence compression approaches, but also influence the information included in the model in the summaries. • Incremental summarization of real-time news events. • Unsupervised autoencoder for summarization of short texts related to the same event. • Semi-extractive method of accounting for information updates in the sentence compression task. • Promoting novelty or cohesion of information in incremental and update summarization processes.

Concept maps are graphical tools for representation and construction of knowledge. The manual construction of a concept map requires time and cognitive effort, this being increased when the map should not represent the cognitive structure of the author, but rather, the information expressed in a text written by another author. Therefore, we propose a computational approach for concept map mining from texts in Portuguese that aims to represent the text in summary form through concepts and relationships. To this end, we define a technological architecture that includes the services of: (i) text formatting, removing characters and designing of the text; (ii) domain identification, information retrieval techniques to identify the domain to which refers the text; (iii) elements extractor, natural language processing techniques on the text to extract concept-relation-concept propositions; (iv) element summarizer, supported by graph analysis to identify the relevant concepts on the map; and (v) map visualization, presentation of the propositions in graphic form. The approach developed presents satisfactory results and contributes exceptionally to the summarization of texts to identify the relevant concepts of the text while maintaining its several and most important characteristics. Furthermore, this research introduces the specification of a project to provide computational resources for processing, handling and extraction of conceptual maps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
