MediaSum dataset for summarization

Summarization dataset copied from MediaSum: A Large-scale Media Interview Dataset for Dialogue Summarization

This dataset is compatible with the run_summarization.py script from Transformers if you add this line to the summarization_name_mapping variable:

"ccdv/mediasum": ("document", "summary")

Configs

4 possibles configs:

• roberta will concatenate documents with "</s>"
• newline will concatenate documents with "\n"
• bert will concatenate documents with "[SEP]"
• list will return the list of documents instead of a single string

Add _prepended to config name to prepend the speaker name before each dialogue: speaker: text
Default is roberta_prepended (compatible with BART).

Data Fields

• id: paper id
• document: a string/list containing the body of a set of documents
• summary: a string containing the abstract of the set
