Before revision:  We decompose the problem into extractive and abstractive subtasks, exploring a spectrum of approaches according to how much they demand from each component. We observe that the performance improves constantly as the extractive subtask is made more complex - an observation that we also replicate on the well-known AMI meeting summarization dataset. Our best performing method first (i) extracts noteworthy utterances via multi-label classification, assigning each to summary section(s) ;
After revision:  We decompose the problem into extractive and abstractive subtasks, exploring a spectrum of methods across the extractive-abstractive spectrum, we propose Cluster2Sent, an algorithm that (i) extracts noteworthy utterances via multi-label classification, assigning each to summary section(s) ;
