HTSS: A novel hybrid text summarisation and simplification architecture

作者:

Highlights:

• This paper presents a new hybrid loss function that enables the text summarisation model to generate easy-to-read simplified summaries.

• A new evaluation measure for the combined tasks of summarisation and simplification has been proposed.

• A novel parallel corpus of 5204 articles with their associated summarised simplified text for the combined task of text summasization and simplification has been provided for future research.

• The proposed hybrid approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art neural text simplification and abstractive text summarisation models by 38.94% and 53.40%, respectively.
