23 - Get To The Point: Summarization with Pointer-Generator Networks

from NLP Highlights Hosted by Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence

ACL 2017 paper by Abigail See, Peter Liu, and Chris Manning. Matt presents the paper, describing the task (summarization on CNN/Daily Mail), the model (the standard copy + generate model that people are using these days, plus a nice coverage loss term), and the results (can't beat the extractive baseline, but coming close). It's a nice paper - very well written, interesting discussion section. https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Get-To-The-Point-Summarization-with-Pointer-Genera-See-Liu/13db673d09f546698e0bfb6687beeb5345f81ad9 Abigail also has a very nice blog post where she describes her work in a less formal tone than the paper: http://www.abigailsee.com/2017/04/16/taming-rnns-for-better-summarization.html
