Young men have always wanted to rush into print: a note on Denis Glover's writings on typography
Denis Glover was a self-assessed expert on typography. This article reviews Glover’s education and training as a typographer and discusses his four accessible published articles. The article then assesses his contribution to the establishment of higher standards of type selection and use in the post-WWII period, particularly for book work. The 'new' typography he and others promoted is now the established typography.Lindsay Rollo, a retired one-time technical editor, is now an independent researcher.Correspondence about this article may be directed to the author at [email protected]
Self-Supervised and Controlled Multi-Document Opinion Summarization
We address the problem of unsupervised abstractive summarization of
collections of user generated reviews with self-supervision and control. We
propose a self-supervised setup that considers an individual document as a
target summary for a set of similar documents. This setting makes training
simpler than previous approaches by relying only on standard log-likelihood
loss. We address the problem of hallucinations through the use of control
codes, to steer the generation towards more coherent and relevant
summaries.Finally, we extend the Transformer architecture to allow for multiple
reviews as input. Our benchmarks on two datasets against graph-based and recent
neural abstractive unsupervised models show that our proposed method generates
summaries with a superior quality and relevance.This is confirmed in our human
evaluation which focuses explicitly on the faithfulness of generated summaries
We also provide an ablation study, which shows the importance of the control
setup in controlling hallucinations and achieve high sentiment and topic
alignment of the summaries with the input reviews.Comment: 18 pages including 5 pages appendi
