论文摘要
多年来，自动文本摘要取得了长足的进步，并且用于许多应用程序，从而影响了许多人的生活。尽管进行了这种发展，但几乎没有研究有意义地研究了当前的研究如何与用户的需求保持一致。为了弥合这一差距，我们提出了一种调查方法，该方法可用于研究自动生成的摘要用户的需求。重要的是，这些需求取决于目标群体。因此，我们设计调查的方式可以轻松调整以调查不同的用户组。在这项工作中，我们专注于大学生，他们在学习过程中广泛使用了摘要。我们发现，自动摘要社区的当前研究方向并不完全与学生的需求保持一致。在我们的发现中，我们提出了减轻对自动摘要的未来研究中这种不匹配的方法：我们提出了影响设计，开发和评估自动生成的摘要的研究方向。
Automatic text summarization has enjoyed great progress over the years and is used in numerous applications, impacting the lives of many. Despite this development, there is little research that meaningfully investigates how the current research focus in automatic summarization aligns with users' needs. To bridge this gap, we propose a survey methodology that can be used to investigate the needs of users of automatically generated summaries. Importantly, these needs are dependent on the target group. Hence, we design our survey in such a way that it can be easily adjusted to investigate different user groups. In this work we focus on university students, who make extensive use of summaries during their studies. We find that the current research directions of the automatic summarization community do not fully align with students' needs. Motivated by our findings, we present ways to mitigate this mismatch in future research on automatic summarization: we propose research directions that impact the design, the development and the evaluation of automatically generated summaries.
