Pretrained models in abstractive summarization enable the summarization model to generate coherent summaries flexibly, but it also introduces unfactual hallucinations when generating novel words. To circumvent this drawback, we propose A Guided Tensor Product framework for abstractive Summarization (GTPSum). GTPSum utilizes highlighted sentence guidance signal and role embedding in the form of guided tensor product representations (GTPRs) to enhance the generation capacity for short document text. The guidance signal assists the model in focusing on crucial information, while the role embedding aids GTPSum in capturing the syntactic structure relationships present in the sentences. By employing this approach, the framework can not only focus on the essential information from the source document but also grasp the inherent sentence structure, resulting in generated summaries that closely align with the original content. The experimental results demonstrate the strong performance of our approach on the CNN/Daily Mail (44.28/20.88/41.08 ROUGE-1/-2/-L) and performed well on the other three datasets. Moreover, the comparison between our model generated summaries and those generated by the baseline models through human evaluation shows that our summaries contain more critical information, have better readability, and still maintain succinctness.

The purpose of government news summarization is to extract the most important information from official government news reports. It is important for readers to be able to understand government news quickly in the age of information overload. Compared with other types of news, government news reports have more detailed content and possess a more normative format, resulting in greater length. To resolve the contradiction between the length of these reports and the trend of fragmented reading, this research proposes an automatic text summarization model based on multiple features. First, the features are extracted using the TF–IDF algorithm and word vector embedding method based on the bidirectional encoder representation from the transformers model. Second, we score the sentences based on the position, keywords, and similarity features. Finally, the top-ranked sentence is selected to form the summarization. To verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, Edmundson and ROUGE were adopted. First, based on the Edmundson evaluation criteria, the summarization results of various methods were scored. The score differences between ATS summarization based on the proposed method and manual summarization were minimal across consistency, grammaticality, time sequence, conciseness, and readability, with values of 0.14, 0.18, 0.12, 0.10, and 0.16, respectively. This suggests that our summarization exhibits the highest similarity to manual summarization. Second, we evaluated the summarization results using the ROUGE evaluation criteria. The results indicate that the proposed method achieved significantly higher scores compared to other models. Specifically, for character-level ROUGE-1, the P, R, and F scores reached 0.84, 0.93, and 0.88, respectively. At the word-level ROUGE-1, the P, R, and F scores were 0.81, 0.89, and 0.85, respectively, which demonstrates a noticeable improvement over other models. Furthermore, compared to manual methods, the proposed method has advantages in assisting the reader to obtain important information rapidly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
