FactSumm: Factual Consistency Scorer for Abstractive Summarization

Last update: Jan 09, 2023

Overview

FactSumm: Factual Consistency Scorer for Abstractive Summarization

FactSumm is a toolkit that scores Factualy Consistency for Abstract Summarization

Without fine-tuning, you can simply apply a variety of downstream tasks to both the source article and the generated abstractive summary

For example, by extracting fact triples from source articles and generated summaries, we can verify that generated summaries correctly reflect source-based facts ( See image above )

As you can guess, this PoC-ish project uses a lot of pre-trained modules that require super-duper computing resources

So don't blame me, just take it as a concept project 👀

Installation

FactSumm requires Java to be installed in your environment to use Stanford OpenIE. With Java and Python 3, you can install factsumm simply using pip:

pip install factsumm

Or you can install FactSumm from source repository:

git clone https://github.com/huffon/factsumm
cd factsumm
pip install .

Usage

>>> from factsumm import FactSumm
>>> factsumm = FactSumm()
>>> article = "Lionel Andrés Messi (born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward and captains both Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina national team. Often considered as the best player in the world and widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Messi has won a record six Ballon d'Or awards, a record six European Golden Shoes, and in 2020 was named to the Ballon d'Or Dream Team."
>>> summary = "Lionel Andrés Messi (born 24 Aug 1997) is an Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward and captains both Spanish club Barcelona and the Spanish national team."
>>> factsumm(article, summary, verbose=True)

The triple-based module counts the overlap of fact triples between the generated summary and the source document.

QA-based Module

If you ask questions about the summary and the source document, you will get a similar answer if the summary realistically matches the source document

>>> factsumm = FactSumm()
>>> factsumm.extract_qas(article, summary, verbose=True)

OpenIE-based Module ( open-scheme )

('Messi', 'is', 'professional')

SUMMARY Triples

('Messi', 'is', 'professional')

Triple Score: 0.5

Stanford OpenIE can extract relationships from raw strings. But it's important to note that it's based on the open scheme, not the closed scheme (like Triple-based Module).

For example, from "Obama was born in Hawaii", OpenIE extracts (Obama, born in Hawaii). However, from "Hawaii is the birthplace of Obama", it extracts (Hawaii, is the birthplace of, Obama). In common sense, the triples extracted from the two sentences should be identical, but OpenIE can't recognize that they are the same since it is based on an open scheme.

So the score for this module may be unstable.

ROUGE-based Module

>>> from factsumm import FactSumm
>>> factsumm = FactSumm()
>>> factsumm.calculate_rouge(article, summary)
Avg. ROUGE-1: 0.4415584415584415
Avg. ROUGE-2: 0.3287671232876712
Avg. ROUGE-L: 0.4415584415584415

BUG: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'generate'

when I use the example in README to gain qags score, there has a problem：

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 factsumm.extract_qas(article, summary, verbose=True)

~/Desktop/factsumm-master/factsumm/factsumm.py in extract_qas(self, source, summary, source_ents, summary_ents, verbose, device) 292 summary_ents = self.ner(summary_lines) 293 --> 294 summary_qas = self.qg(summary_lines, summary_ents) 295 296 source_answers = self.qa(source, summary_qas)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'generate'

hope you can help me to solve this problem. Thanks!!
