A Survey on Dialogue Summarization: Recent Advances and New Frontiers
With the development of dialogue systems and natural language generation
techniques, the resurgence of dialogue summarization has attracted significant
research attentions, which aims to condense the original dialogue into a
shorter version covering salient information. However, there remains a lack of
comprehensive survey for this task. To this end, we take the first step and
present a thorough review of this research field. In detail, we provide an
overview of publicly available research datasets, summarize existing works
according to the domain of input dialogue as well as organize leaderboards
under unified metrics. Furthermore, we discuss some future directions and give
our thoughts. We hope that this first survey of dialogue summarization can
provide the community with a quick access and a general picture to this task
and motivate future researches
