TL;DR Progress: Multi-faceted Literature Exploration in Text Summarization
Shahbaz Syed, Khalid Al-Khatib, Martin Potthast
This paper presents TL;DR Progress, a new tool for exploring the literature on neural text summarization. It organizes 514~papers based on a comprehensive annotation scheme for text summarization approaches and enables fine-grained, faceted search. Each paper was manually annotated to capture aspects such as evaluation metrics, quality dimensions, learning paradigms, challenges addressed, datasets, and document domains. In addition, a succinct indicative summary is provided for each paper, consisting of automatically extracted contextual factors, issues, and proposed solutions. The tool is available online at https://www.tldr-progress.de, a demo video at https://youtu.be/uCVRGFvXUj8
