A Spectral Method for Unsupervised Multi-Document Summarization

Abstract: Multi-document summarization (MDS) aims at producing a good-quality summary for several related documents. In this paper, we propose a spectral-based hypothesis, which states that the goodness of summary candidate is closely linked to its so-called spectral impact.Here spectral impact considers the perturbation to the dominant eigenvalue of affinity matrix when dropping the summary candidate from the document cluster. The hypothesis is validated by three theoretical perspectives: semantic scaling, propagation … Show more

“…Liu et al (2019a) improve the model by encoding articles and summaries in the same space. Other novel approaches include using sentence compression in the seq2seq framework (Baziotis et al, 2019), jointly learning sentence fusion and paraphrasing (Nayeem et al, 2018), using graph neural networks to help extraction (Wang et al, 2020b), using spectral methods (Wang et al, 2020c), using transfer learning based on a novel pretraining method called gap-sentence prediction (Zhang et al, 2020a) on a news-specific corpus, among a few others Gu et al, 2020;.…”
