Text summarization (TS) is considered one of the most difficult tasks in natural language processing (NLP). It is one of the most important challenges that stand against the modern computer system’s capabilities with all its new improvement. Many papers and research studies address this task in literature but are being carried out in extractive summarization, and few of them are being carried out in abstractive summarization, especially in the Arabic language due to its complexity. In this paper, an abstractive Arabic text summarization system is proposed, based on a sequence-to-sequence model. This model works through two components, encoder and decoder. Our aim is to develop the sequence-to-sequence model using several deep artificial neural networks to investigate which of them achieves the best performance. Different layers of Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) have been used to develop the encoder and the decoder. In addition, the global attention mechanism has been used because it provides better results than the local attention mechanism. Furthermore, AraBERT preprocess has been applied in the data preprocessing stage that helps the model to understand the Arabic words and achieves state-of-the-art results. Moreover, a comparison between the skip-gram and the continuous bag of words (CBOW) word2Vec word embedding models has been made. We have built these models using the Keras library and run-on Google Colab Jupiter notebook to run seamlessly. Finally, the proposed system is evaluated through ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L, and BLEU evaluation metrics. The experimental results show that three layers of BiLSTM hidden states at the encoder achieve the best performance. In addition, our proposed system outperforms the other latest research studies. Also, the results show that abstractive summarization models that use the skip-gram word2Vec model outperform the models that use the CBOW word2Vec model.

Text Summarization is a process where a huge text file is converted into summarized version which will preserve the original meaning and context. The main aim of any text summarization is to provide a accurate and precise summary. One approach is to use a sentence ranking algorithm. This comes under extractive summarization. Here, a graph based ranking algorithm is used to rank the sentences in the text and then top k-scored sentences are included in the summary. The most widely used algorithm to decide the importance of any vertex in a graph based on the information retrieved from the graph is Graph Based Ranking Algorithm. TextRank is one of the most efficient ranking algorithms which is used for Web link analysis that is for measuring the importance of website pages. Another approach is abstractive summarization where a LSTM encoder decoder model is used along with attention mechanism which focuses on some important words from the input. Encoder encodes the input sequence and decoder along with attention mechanism gives the summary as the output.

The task of predicting dialog acts (DA) based on conversational dialog is a key component in the development of conversational agents. Accurately predicting DAs requires a precise modeling of both the conversation and the global tag dependencies. We leverage seq2seq approaches widely adopted in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to improve the modelling of tag sequentiality. Seq2seq models are known to learn complex global dependencies while currently proposed approaches using linear conditional random fields (CRF) only model local tag dependencies. In this work, we introduce a seq2seq model tailored for DA classification using: a hierarchical encoder, a novel guided attention mechanism and beam search applied to both training and inference. Compared to the state of the art our model does not require handcrafted features and is trained end-to-end. Furthermore, the proposed approach achieves an unmatched accuracy score of 85% on SwDA, and state-of-the-art accuracy score of 91.6% on MRDA.

Text summarization is an active field of research with a goal to provide short and meaningful gists from large amount of text documents. Extractive text summarization methods have been extensively studied where text is extracted from the documents to build summaries. There are various type of multi document ranging from different formats to domains and topics. With the recent advancement in technology and use of neural networks for text generation, interest for research in abstractive text summarization has increased significantly. The use of graph based methods which handle semantic information has shown significant results. When given a set of documents of English text files, we make use of abstractive method and predicate argument structures to retrieve necessary text information and pass it through a neural network for text generation. Recurrent neural networks are a subtype of recursive neural networks which try to predict the next sequence based on the current state and considering the information from previous states. The use of neural networks allows generation of summaries for long text sentences as well. This paper implements a semantic based filtering approach using a similarity matrix while keeping all stop-words. The similarity is calculated using semantic concepts and Jiang–Conrath similarity and making use of a recurrent neural network with an attention mechanism to generate summary. ROUGE score is used for measuring accuracy, precision and recall scores.

Recently, neural sequence-to-sequence models have made impressive progress in abstractive document summarization. Unfortunately, as neural abstractive summarization research is in a primitive stage, the performance of these models is still far from ideal. In this paper, we propose a novel method called Neural Abstractive Summarization with Diverse Decoding (NASDD). This method augments the standard attentional sequence-to-sequence model in two aspects. First, we introduce a diversity-promoting beam search approach in the decoding process, which alleviates the serious diversity issue caused by standard beam search and hence increases the possibility of generating summary sequences that are more informative. Second, we creatively utilize the attention mechanism combined with the key information of the input document as an estimation of the salient information coverage, which aids in finding the optimal summary sequence. We carry out the experimental evaluation with state-of-the-art methods on the CNN/Daily Mail summarization dataset, and the results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed method.
