Team Zoom @ AutoMin 2023: Utilizing Topic Segmentation And LLM Data Augmentation For Long-Form Meeting Summarization

Felix Schneider, Marco Turchi


Abstract
This paper describes Zoom’s submission to the Second Shared Task on Automatic Minuting at INLG 2023. We participated in Task A: generating abstractive summaries of meetings. Our final submission was a transformer model utilizing data from a similar domain and data augmentation by large language models, as well as content-based segmentation. The model produces summaries covering meeting topics and next steps and performs comparably to a large language model at a fraction of the cost. We also find that re-summarizing the summaries with the same model allows for an alternative, shorter summary.
