Automatic Data Retrieval for Cross Lingual Summarization
Abstract
Cross-lingual summarization involves the summarization of text written in one language to a different one. There is a body of research addressing cross-lingual summarization from English to other European languages. In this work, we aim to perform cross-lingual summarization from English to Hindi. We propose pairing up the coverage of newsworthy events in textual and video format can prove to be helpful for data acquisition for cross lingual summarization. We analyze the data and propose methods to match articles to video descriptions that serve as document and summary pairs. We also outline filtering methods over reasonable thresholds to ensure the correctness of the summaries. Further, we make available 28,583 mono and cross-lingual article-summary pairs https://github.com/tingc9/Cross-Sum-News-Aligned. We also build and analyze multiple baselines on the collected data and report error analysis.
