Weakly supervised text summarization/Evidence
Method evidence record

Weakly supervised text summarization

Weakly supervised text summarization trains abstractive or extractive summarization models without manually annotated reference summaries. Instead of costly human labels, it exploits weak signals — heuristic rules, distant supervision, noisy automatic labels, or self-supervised objectives — to guide sequence-to-sequence or transformer models toward producing coherent, concise summaries of input documents.
