传统上,文本简化被视为单语翻译任务,其中源文本及其简化的对应物之间的句子是对齐的。但是,尤其是对于更长的输入文档,总结文本(或完全删除相关内容)在简化过程中起重要作用,目前在现有数据集中尚未反映出该过程。同时,非英语语言的资源通常很少,并且对于培训新解决方案而言是过分的。为了解决这个问题,我们对可以共同总结和简化长源文档的系统提出了核心要求。我们进一步描述了基于德国Wikipedia和德国儿童词典“ Klexikon”的新数据集的创建,用于简化和摘要,包括近2900个文档。我们发布了一个与文档一致的版本,特别突出了摘要方面,并提供了统计证据,表明此资源也非常适合简化。代码和数据可在GitHub上找到:https://github.com/dennlinger/klexikon

由于免费的在线百科全书具有大量内容,因此Wikipedia和Wikidata是许多自然语言处理(NLP)任务的关键,例如信息检索,知识基础构建,机器翻译,文本分类和文本摘要。在本文中,我们介绍了Wikides,这是一个新颖的数据集,用于为文本摘要问题提供Wikipedia文章的简短描述。该数据集由6987个主题上的80K英语样本组成。我们设置了一种两阶段的摘要方法 - 描述生成(I阶段)和候选排名(II阶段)作为一种依赖于转移和对比学习的强大方法。对于描述生成,与其他小规模的预训练模型相比,T5和BART表现出了优越性。通过将对比度学习与Beam Search的不同输入一起应用,基于度量的排名模型优于直接描述生成模型,在主题独立拆分和独立于主题的独立拆分中,最高可达22个胭脂。此外,第II期中的结果描述得到了人类评估的支持,其中45.33%以上,而I阶段的23.66%则支持针对黄金描述。在情感分析方面,生成的描述无法有效地从段落中捕获所有情感极性,同时从黄金描述中更好地完成此任务。自动产生的新描述减少了人类为创建它们的努力,并丰富了基于Wikidata的知识图。我们的论文对Wikipedia和Wikidata产生了实际影响,因为有成千上万的描述。最后,我们预计Wikides将成为从短段落中捕获显着信息的相关作品的有用数据集。策划的数据集可公开可用:https://github.com/declare-lab/wikides。

Though many algorithms can be used to automatically summarize legal case decisions, most fail to incorporate domain knowledge about how important sentences in a legal decision relate to a representation of its document structure. For example, analysis of a legal case summarization dataset demonstrates that sentences serving different types of argumentative roles in the decision appear in different sections of the document. In this work, we propose an unsupervised graph-based ranking model that uses a reweighting algorithm to exploit properties of the document structure of legal case decisions. We also explore the impact of using different methods to compute the document structure. Results on the Canadian Legal Case Law dataset show that our proposed method outperforms several strong baselines.

Aspect or query-based summarization has recently caught more attention, as it can generate differentiated summaries based on users' interests. However, the current dataset for aspect or query-based summarization either focuses on specific domains, contains relatively small-scale instances, or includes only a few aspect types. Such limitations hinder further explorations in this direction. In this work, we take advantage of crowd-sourcing knowledge on Wikipedia.org and automatically create a high-quality, large-scale open-domain aspect-based summarization dataset named OASum, which contains more than 3.7 million instances with around 1 million different aspects on 2 million Wikipedia pages. We provide benchmark results on OAsum and demonstrate its ability for diverse aspect-based summarization generation. To overcome the data scarcity problem on specific domains, we also perform zero-shot, few-shot, and fine-tuning on seven downstream datasets. Specifically, zero/few-shot and fine-tuning results show that the model pre-trained on our corpus demonstrates a strong aspect or query-focused generation ability compared with the backbone model. Our dataset and pre-trained checkpoints are publicly available.

Narrative summarization aims to produce a distilled version of a narrative to describe its most salient events and characters. Summarizing a narrative is challenging as it requires an understanding of event causality and character behaviors. To encourage research in this direction, we propose NarraSum, a large-scale narrative summarization dataset. It contains 122K narrative documents, which are collected from plot descriptions of movies and TV episodes with diverse genres, and their corresponding abstractive summaries. Experiments show that there is a large performance gap between humans and the state-of-the-art summarization models on NarraSum. We hope that this dataset will promote future research in summarization, as well as broader studies of natural language understanding and generation. The dataset is available at https://github.com/zhaochaocs/narrasum.

随着大型语言模型的出现,抽象性摘要的方法取得了长足的进步,从而在应用程序中使用了帮助知识工人处理笨拙的文档收集的潜力。一个这样的环境是民权诉讼交换所(CRLC)(https://clearinghouse.net),其中发布了有关大规模民权诉讼,服务律师,学者和公众的信息。如今,CRLC中的摘要需要对律师和法律专业的学生进行广泛的培训,这些律师和法律专业的学生花费数小时了解多个相关文件,以便产生重要事件和结果的高质量摘要。在这种持续的现实世界摘要工作的激励下,我们引入了Multi-iplesum,这是由正在进行的CRLC写作中绘制的9,280个专家作者的摘要集。鉴于源文档的长度,多文章介绍了一个具有挑战性的多文档摘要任务,通常每个情况超过200页。此外,多胎sum与其多个目标摘要中的其他数据集不同,每个数据集都处于不同的粒度(从一句“极端”摘要到超过五百个单词的多段落叙述)。我们提供了广泛的分析,表明,尽管培训数据(遵守严格的内容和样式准则)中的摘要很高,但最新的摘要模型在此任务上的表现较差。我们发布了多体式的摘要方法,以及促进应用程序的开发,以协助CRLC的任务https://multilexsum.github.io。

Natural Language Generation (NLG) has improved exponentially in recent years thanks to the development of sequence-to-sequence deep learning technologies such as Transformer-based language models. This advancement has led to more fluent and coherent NLG, leading to improved development in downstream tasks such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and data-to-text generation. However, it is also apparent that deep learning based generation is prone to hallucinate unintended text, which degrades the system performance and fails to meet user expectations in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, many studies have been presented in measuring and mitigating hallucinated texts, but these have never been reviewed in a comprehensive manner before. In this survey, we thus provide a broad overview of the research progress and challenges in the hallucination problem in NLG. The survey is organized into two parts: (1) a general overview of metrics, mitigation methods, and future directions; and (2) an overview of task-specific research progress on hallucinations in the following downstream tasks, namely abstractive summarization, dialogue generation, generative question answering, data-to-text generation, machine translation, and visual-language generation. This survey serves to facilitate collaborative efforts among researchers in tackling the challenge of hallucinated texts in NLG.

Nowadays, time-stamped web documents related to a general news query floods spread throughout the Internet, and timeline summarization targets concisely summarizing the evolution trajectory of events along the timeline. Unlike traditional document summarization, timeline summarization needs to model the time series information of the input events and summarize important events in chronological order. To tackle this challenge, in this paper, we propose a Unified Timeline Summarizer (UTS) that can generate abstractive and extractive timeline summaries in time order. Concretely, in the encoder part, we propose a graph-based event encoder that relates multiple events according to their content dependency and learns a global representation of each event. In the decoder part, to ensure the chronological order of the abstractive summary, we propose to extract the feature of event-level attention in its generation process with sequential information remained and use it to simulate the evolutionary attention of the ground truth summary. The event-level attention can also be used to assist in extracting summary, where the extracted summary also comes in time sequence. We augment the previous Chinese large-scale timeline summarization dataset and collect a new English timeline dataset. Extensive experiments conducted on these datasets and on the out-of-domain Timeline 17 dataset show that UTS achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of both automatic and human evaluations.

即使在高度发达的国家,多达15-30%的人口只能理解使用基本词汇编写的文本。他们对日常文本的理解是有限的,这阻止了他们在社会中发挥积极作用,并就医疗保健,法律代表或民主选择做出明智的决定。词汇简化是一项自然语言处理任务,旨在通过更简单地替换复杂的词汇和表达方式来使每个人都可以理解文本,同时保留原始含义。在过去的20年中,它引起了极大的关注,并且已经针对各种语言提出了全自动词汇简化系统。该领域进步的主要障碍是缺乏用于构建和评估词汇简化系统的高质量数据集。我们提出了一个新的基准数据集,用于英语,西班牙语和(巴西)葡萄牙语中的词汇简化,并提供有关数据选择和注释程序的详细信息。这是第一个可直接比较三种语言的词汇简化系统的数据集。为了展示数据集的可用性,我们将两种具有不同体系结构(神经与非神经)的最先进的词汇简化系统适应所有三种语言(英语,西班牙语和巴西葡萄牙语),并评估他们的表演在我们的新数据集中。为了进行更公平的比较,我们使用多种评估措施来捕获系统功效的各个方面,并讨论其优势和缺点。我们发现,最先进的神经词汇简化系统优于所有三种语言中最先进的非神经词汇简化系统。更重要的是,我们发现最先进的神经词汇简化系统对英语的表现要比西班牙和葡萄牙语要好得多。

现有以查询为中心的摘要数据集的大小有限,使培训数据驱动的摘要模型提出了挑战。同时,以查询为重点的摘要语料库的手动构造昂贵且耗时。在本文中,我们使用Wikipedia自动收集超过280,000个示例的大型以查询为中心的摘要数据集(名为Wikiref),这可以用作数据增强的手段。我们还开发了一个基于BERT的以查询为重点的摘要模型(Q-bert),以从文档中提取句子作为摘要。为了更好地调整包含数百万个参数的巨大模型,我们仅识别和微调一个稀疏的子网络,这对应于整个模型参数的一小部分。三个DUC基准测试的实验结果表明,在Wikiref中预先培训的模型已经达到了合理的性能。在对特定基准数据集进行了微调后,具有数据增强的模型优于强大比较系统。此外,我们提出的Q-Bert模型和子网微调都进一步改善了模型性能。该数据集可在https://aka.ms/wikiref上公开获取。

Cross-Lingual Summarization (CLS) aims at generating summaries in one language for the given documents in another language. CLS has attracted wide research attention due to its practical significance in the multi-lingual world. Though great contributions have been made, existing CLS works typically focus on short documents, such as news articles, short dialogues and guides. Different from these short texts, long documents such as academic articles and business reports usually discuss complicated subjects and consist of thousands of words, making them non-trivial to process and summarize. To promote CLS research on long documents, we construct Perseus, the first long-document CLS dataset which collects about 94K Chinese scientific documents paired with English summaries. The average length of documents in Perseus is more than two thousand tokens. As a preliminary study on long-document CLS, we build and evaluate various CLS baselines, including pipeline and end-to-end methods. Experimental results on Perseus show the superiority of the end-to-end baseline, outperforming the strong pipeline models equipped with sophisticated machine translation systems. Furthermore, to provide a deeper understanding, we manually analyze the model outputs and discuss specific challenges faced by current approaches. We hope that our work could benchmark long-document CLS and benefit future studies.

Recent lay language generation systems have used Transformer models trained on a parallel corpus to increase health information accessibility. However, the applicability of these models is constrained by the limited size and topical breadth of available corpora. We introduce CELLS, the largest (63k pairs) and broadest-ranging (12 journals) parallel corpus for lay language generation. The abstract and the corresponding lay language summary are written by domain experts, assuring the quality of our dataset. Furthermore, qualitative evaluation of expert-authored plain language summaries has revealed background explanation as a key strategy to increase accessibility. Such explanation is challenging for neural models to generate because it goes beyond simplification by adding content absent from the source. We derive two specialized paired corpora from CELLS to address key challenges in lay language generation: generating background explanations and simplifying the original abstract. We adopt retrieval-augmented models as an intuitive fit for the task of background explanation generation, and show improvements in summary quality and simplicity while maintaining factual correctness. Taken together, this work presents the first comprehensive study of background explanation for lay language generation, paving the path for disseminating scientific knowledge to a broader audience. CELLS is publicly available at: https://github.com/LinguisticAnomalies/pls_retrieval.
