Extractive Document Summarizers - SideNet and Refresh
Description
This is a demo of SideNet and Refresh, our two neural extractive document summarization systems.
SideNet builds the summary by extracting relevant sentences from the document by attending side information such as title and captions in the document. SideNet’s TensorFlow source code can be found on github.
Refresh frames extractive summarization as a sentence ranking task and uses a novel training algorithm which globally optimizes the ROUGE evaluation metric through a reinforcement learning objective. The source code of Refresh can be found on github.
Both systems were developed by Shashi Narayan (in collaboration with Nikos Papasarantopoulos, Mirella Lapata and Shay Cohen).
We thank our funders: EU H2020 (grant agreement: 688139, SUMMA) and Huawei Technologies.
