An Editorial Network for Enhanced Document Summarization

Edward Moroshko, Guy Feigenblat, Haggai Roitman, David Konopnicki


Abstract
We suggest a new idea of Editorial Network – a mixed extractive-abstractive summarization approach, which is applied as a post-processing step over a given sequence of extracted sentences. We further suggest an effective way for training the “editor” based on a novel soft-labeling approach. Using the CNN/DailyMail dataset we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach compared to state-of-the-art extractive-only or abstractive-only baselines.
