Gtpsum: guided tensor product framework for abstractive summarization.

Pretrained models in abstractive summarization enable the summarization model to generate coherent summaries flexibly, but it also introduces unfactual hallucinations when generating novel words. To circumvent this drawback, we propose A Guided Tensor Product framework for abstractive Summarization (GTPSum). GTPSum utilizes highlighted sentence guidance signal and role embedding in the form of guided tensor product representations (GTPRs) to enhance the generation capacity for short document text. The guidance signal assists the model in focusing on crucial information, while the role embedding aids GTPSum in capturing the syntactic structure relationships present in the sentences. By employing this approach, the framework can not only focus on the essential information from the source document but also grasp the inherent sentence structure, resulting in generated summaries that closely align with the original content. The experimental results demonstrate the strong performance of our approach on the CNN/Daily Mail (44.28/20.88/41.08 ROUGE-1/-2/-L) and performed well on the other three datasets. Moreover, the comparison between our model generated summaries and those generated by the baseline models through human evaluation shows that our summaries contain more critical information, have better readability, and still maintain succinctness.
