Introduced by Mingda Chen et al. in SummScreen: A Dataset for Abstractive Screenplay Summarization14 Apr 2021 archive 2025-07-28

SummScreen is a dataset for abstractive screenplay summarization. It consists of pairs of TV series transcripts and human-written recaps. This dataset provides a challenging testbed for abstractive summarization for several reasons: - Plot details are often expressed indirectly in character dialogues and may be scattered across the entirety of the transcript. - These details must be found and integrated to form the succinct plot descriptions in the recaps. - TV scripts contain content that does not directly pertain to the central plot but rather serves to develop characters or provide comic relief. This information is rarely contained in recaps.
