Reference summary and Source text

Open wonjininfo opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hello, Thank you very much for sharing this work and dataset. Currently, I am working on abstractive summarization and I wish to evaluate my model on XSum dataset.

While I was processing the dataset, I was wondering if the [SN]title[SN] is used or not. It appears in here that the dataset uses :

  • [SN]FIRST-SENTENCE[SN] as Reference summary
  • [SN]RESTBODY[SN] as Source text
  • [SN]TITLE[SN] : Not used

May I request your confirmation of the above information?

(I am using the dataset downloaded from http://kinloch.inf.ed.ac.uk/public/XSUM-EMNLP18-Summary-Data-Original.tar.gz )

Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing your reply, Best, Wonjin
