Supervising the Centroid Baseline for Extractive Multi-Document
  Summarization
Simão Gonçalves Gonçalo Correia Diogo Pernes Afonso Mendes
The centroid method is a simple approach for extractive multi-document
summarization and many improvements to its pipeline have been proposed. We
further refine it by adding a beam search process to the sentence selection and
also a centroid estimation attention model that leads to improved results. We
demonstrate this in several multi-document summarization datasets, including in
a multilingual scenario.
