SPEC: Summary Preference Decomposition for Low-Resource Abstractive Summarization

[Paper] [Datasets] [Models]

Introduction

Original PyTorch implementation for TASLP 2022 Paper "SPEC: Summary Preference Decomposition for Low-Resource Abstractive Summarization " by Yi-Syuan Chen, Yun-Zhu Song, and Hong-Han Shuai.

Instructions

Dataset

The datasets are organized in CSV format for individual splits, where each row denotes a single datum. The input and output column names may differ across datasets, which will be handle within the codes (src/data/dataset_mappings.py). The CSV files also include the preference values for each datum, which are obtained by runing the script in src/get_preference/. To generate the representative preference, please also refer to the script in src/get_preference/.

You may check the formats and prepare your datasets accordingly to run on our codes.

We provide part of the datasets that can be directly used for exploring. After downloading from [Datasets], unzip the compressed file and place the datasets/ and analysis/ folders under SPEC/. The datasets/ folder contains the CSV files while the analysis/ folder contains the representative preferences required for runing the codes.

Run the Codes

We provide the scripts for training, adaptation, and testing of the SPEC-IPL and SPEC-IIPL. Please run them with ./scripts/<script_name>.sh under src/ folder.

We provide part of the models that can be directly used for exploring. After downloading from [Models], unzip the compressed file and place the results/ folder under SPEC/.
