## Dataset
The ECTSum dataset can be found under the `data` folder.
## Codes
Codes and instructions for our proposed model ECT-BPS can be found under `codes/ECT-BPS`
Codes and instructions for our baseline models can be found under `codes/baselines`
## Data Preparation for ECT-BPS
### Preparing the data for training the Extractive Module
#### Imports
`pip install sentence-transformers`
`pip install num2words`
`pip install word2number`
#### Prepare the data
`python prepare_data_ectbps_ext.py`
#### Data Location
The data is saved at `codes/ECT-BPS/ectbps_ext/data/`.
Processed data is already uploaded at this location.
### Preparing the data for training the Paraphrasing Module
#### Imports
`pip install sentence-transformers`
`pip install num2words`
`pip install word2number`
#### Prepare the data
`python prepare_data_ectbps_para.py`
#### Data Location
