Abstract

In this paper, we conduct a review headline generation task that produces a short headline from a review post by a user. We argue that this task is more challenging than document summarization, because the headlines generated by users vary from person to person. It not only needs to effectively capture the preferences of the users who post the reviews, but also requires to mine the emphasis of the users regarding the review when they write the headlines. To this end, we propose to incorporate the user information as the prior knowledge into the encoder and decoder for general sequence-to-sequence model. Specifically, we introduce user embedding for each user, and then we use these embeddings to initialize the encoder and decoder, or as biases for decoder initialization. We construct a review headline generation dataset, and the experiments on this dataset demonstrate that our models significantly outperform baseline models which do not consider user information.
