Wikipedia is an important free source of intelligible knowledge. Despite that, Brazilian Portuguese Wikipedia still lacks descriptions for many subjects. In an effort to expand the Brazilian Wikipedia, we contribute PLSum, a framework for generating wiki-like abstractive summaries from multiple descriptive websites. The framework has an extractive stage followed by an abstractive one. In particular, for the abstractive stage, we fine-tune and compare two recent variations of the Transformer neural network, PTT5, and Longformer. To fine-tune and evaluate the model, we created a dataset with thousands of examples, linking reference websites to Wikipedia. Our results show that it is possible to generate meaningful abstractive summaries from Brazilian Portuguese web content.
PLSUM: Generating PT-BR Wikipedia by Summarizing Multiple Websites
A framework PLSum is presented for generating abstractive summaries in Brazilian Portuguese for Wikipedia using fine-tuned Transformer models, demonstrating the feasibility of creating meaningful summaries from web content.
