Abstractive Multi-Document Summarization via Phrase Selection and Merging
We propose an abstraction-based multi-document summarization framework that
can construct new sentences by exploring more fine-grained syntactic units than
sentences, namely, noun/verb phrases. Different from existing abstraction-based
approaches, our method first constructs a pool of concepts and facts
represented by phrases from the input documents. Then new sentences are
generated by selecting and merging informative phrases to maximize the salience
of phrases and meanwhile satisfy the sentence construction constraints. We
employ integer linear optimization for conducting phrase selection and merging
simultaneously in order to achieve the global optimal solution for a summary.
Experimental results on the benchmark data set TAC 2011 show that our framework
outperforms the state-of-the-art models under automated pyramid evaluation
metric, and achieves reasonably well results on manual linguistic quality
evaluation.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, accepted as a full paper at ACL 201
A survey on opinion summarization technique s for social media
The volume of data on the social media is huge and even keeps increasing. The need for efficient processing of this extensive information resulted in increasing research interest in knowledge engineering tasks such as Opinion Summarization. This survey shows the current opinion summarization challenges for social media, then the necessary pre-summarization steps like preprocessing, features extraction, noise elimination, and handling of synonym features. Next, it covers the various approaches used in opinion summarization like Visualization, Abstractive, Aspect based, Query-focused, Real Time, Update Summarization, and highlight other Opinion Summarization approaches such as Contrastive, Concept-based, Community Detection, Domain Specific, Bilingual, Social Bookmarking, and Social Media Sampling. It covers the different datasets used in opinion summarization and future work suggested in each technique. Finally, it provides different ways for evaluating opinion summarization
