Summary-T-ConvS2S

An implementation of Don't Give Me the Details, Just the Summary! Topic-Aware Convolutional Neural Networks for Extreme Summarization

XSum Dataset

Follow the steps mentioned in this README for

1. Generating the XSum dataset starting from bbc Urls
2. Training the LDA Model from scratch
3. Decoding word-topics and doc-topics using the LDA model
4. Data Processing

Training

Data Preprocessing

Generate source and target dictionary files. In this case, both files are identical (due to "--joined-dictionary"). It operates on the raw format data.

TEXT= {path to xsum_data_topic_convs2s dir}
!python ./XSum-Topic-ConvS2S/preprocess.py --source-lang document \
                                         --target-lang summary \
                                         --trainpref $TEXT/train \
                                         --validpref $TEXT/validation \
                                         --testpref $TEXT/test \
                                         --destdir $TEXT \
                                         --joined-dictionary \
                                         --nwordstgt 50000 \
                                         --nwordssrc 50000 \
                                         --output-format raw

Model Training

The model requires GPU for training. Check usage with -h for changing variant and hyperparameters

Model variants:

1. TCONVS2S enc(t',tD) dec(tD)
2. TCONVS2S enc(t') dec(tD)

Run with the Pretrained model

Download the pretrained model at Pretrained Topic-ConvS2S model and dictionary files (1.2 GB)
Make sure that ./xsum-data-topic-convs2s has the test files to decode, the source and target dictionary files.

!python ./XSum-Topic-ConvS2S/generate.py ./xsum-data-topic-convs2s-output --path ../checkpoints-topic-convs2s/checkpoint_last.pt \
                                                                          --batch-size 1 \

Extract the Hypothesis

To extract the summary from a given document, run the following

!python ./extract-hypothesis-fairseq.py -o ./test-output-topic-convs2s-checkpoint-best.pt \
                                        -f ./final-test-output-topic-convs2s-checkpoint-best.pt

ROUGE

Take txt files with generated summaries and a file with the corresponding model gold summaries and evaluates P, R, F on rouge-1, rouge-2, rouge-l Sample Output

rouge-1:	P: 30.00	R: 37.50	F1: 33.33
rouge-2:	P: 11.11	R: 14.29	F1: 12.50
rouge-l:	P: 26.15	R: 31.50	F1: 28.58
