The purpose of summarization is to generate short text that preserves important information in the source sentences. There are two approaches for the summarization task. One is an extractive approach and other is an abstractive approach. The extractive approach is to determine if words in a source sentence are retained or not. The abstractive approach generates the summary of a given source sentence using the neural network such as the sequence-to-sequence model and the pointer-generator. However, these approaches present a problem because such approaches omit important information such as event words. This paper proposes an event word attention mechanism for sentence summarization. Event words serve as the key meaning of a given source sentence, since they express what occurs in the source sentence. The event word attention weights are calculated by event information of each words in the source sentence and then it combines global attention mechanism. For evaluation, we used the English and Korean dataset. Experimental results show that, the model of adopting event attention outperforms the existing models.
News Stream Summarization for an Event based on Timeline

This paper explores the summarization task in news stream, as it is continuously produced and has sequential characteristic. Timeline based summarization is widely adopted in news stream summarization because timeline can represent events sequentially. However, previous work relies on the time of collection of news article, thus they cannot consider for dates other than out of the collected period. In addition, previous work lacked consideration of conciseness, informativeness, and coherence. To address these problems, we propose a news stream summarization model with an expanded timeline. The model takes into consideration the expanded timeline by using time points that are referenced in given news articles and selects sentences that are concise, informative and consistent with neighboring time points. First, we constitute expanded timeline by selecting dates which are from all identified time points in the news articles. Then, we extract sentences as summary with consideration of informativeness based on keyword for each time points, and on coherence between two consecutive time points, and on continuity of named entities except for long sentence in the articles. Experimental results show that the proposed model generated higher quality summaries compared to previous work.
