Encoder-decoder models have been widely used to solve sequence to sequence prediction tasks. However current approaches suffer from two shortcomings. First, the encoders compute a representation of each word taking into account only the history of the words it has read so far, yielding suboptimal representations. Second, current decoders utilize large vocabularies in order to minimize the problem of unknown words, resulting in slow decoding times. In this paper we address both shortcomings. Towards this goal, we first introduce a simple mechanism that first reads the input sequence before committing to a representation of each word. Furthermore, we propose a simple copy mechanism that is able to exploit very small vocabularies and handle out-of-vocabulary words. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the Gigaword dataset and DUC competition outperforming the state-of-the-art.

  1. Topic Augmented Generator for Abstractive Summarization

    cs.LG 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Conditioning an abstractive summarization decoder on a document's LDA topic vector as a third mixture component yields modest ROUGE gains over the authors' pointer-generator baseline.

    cs.CL 2019-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Finetuning a pretrained decoder-only transformer with a plain language-modeling objective yields competitive ROUGE-1 and ROUGE-2 scores on CNN/DailyMail and XSum without sequence-to-sequence components or beam search.
