Dependency Structure for News Document Summarization

23 Sep 2021  ·  Congbo Ma, Wei Emma Zhang, Hu Wang, Shubham Gupta, Mingyu Guo ·

In this work, we develop a neural network based model which leverages dependency parsing to capture cross-positional dependencies and grammatical structures. With the help of linguistic signals, sentence-level relations can be correctly captured, thus improving news documents summarization performance. Empirical studies demonstrate that this simple but effective method outperforms existing works on the benchmark dataset. Extensive analyses examine different settings and configurations of the proposed model which provide a good reference to the community.
