Yulong Chen, Yang Liu, Yue Zhang · 2021
We propose a shared task on summarizing reallife scenario dialogues, DialogSum Challenge, to encourage researchers to address challenges in dialogue summarization, which has been less studied by the summarization community.Real-life scenario dialogue summarization has a wide potential application prospect in chatbot and personal assistant.It contains unique challenges such as special discourse structure, coreference, pragmatics and social common sense, which require specific representation learning technologies to deal with.We carefully annotate a large-scale dialogue summarization dataset based on multiple public dialogue corpus, opening the door to all kinds of summarization models.
