Abstract

AbstractFactuality is important to dialogue summarization. Factual error correction (FEC) of model-generated summaries is one way to improve factuality. Current FEC evaluation that relies on factuality metrics is not reliable and detailed enough. To address this problem, we are the first to manually annotate a FEC dataset for dialogue summarization containing 4000 items and propose FERRANTI, a fine-grained evaluation framework based on reference correction that automatically evaluates the performance of FEC models on different error categories. Using this evaluation framework, we conduct sufficient experiments with FEC approaches under a variety of settings and find the best training modes and significant differences in the performance of the existing approaches on different factual error categories.

In this paper, we adopt a proposal-based solution that generates proposals (i.e., candidate moments) and then select the best matching proposal. On top of modeling the cross-modal interaction between candidate moments and the query, our proposed Moment Sampling DETR (MS-DETR) enables efficient moment-moment relation modeling. The core idea is to sample a subset of mo- ments guided by the learnable templates with an adopted DETR (DEtection TRansformer) framework. To achieve this, we design a multi- scale visual-linguistic encoder, and an anchor- guided moment decoder paired with a set of learnable templates. Experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate the superior performance of MS-DETR.1 1 Introduction Natural language video localization (NLVL) aims to retrieve a temporal moment from an untrimmed video that semantically corresponds to a given lan- guage query, see Fig. 1 for an example. This task is also known as temporal sentence grounding in video, and video moment retrieval. As a fundamen- tal video-language task, it has a wide range of ap- plications, such as video question answering (Fan et al., 2019; Yu et al., 2018; Li et al., 2019), video retrieval (Gabeur et al., 2020; Liu et al., 2019; Chen et al., 2020), and video grounded dialogue (Le et al., 2019; Kim et al., 2021). Generally speaking, in NLVL models, a video is first split to a sequence of many small fixed-length segments. Video features are then extracted from these segments to interact with the text query. Con- ceptually, each video segment can be viewed as a ∗Corresponding Authors 1Code is released in https://github.com/K-Nick/MS-DETR Video Ground-Truth Query He stops playing and continues talking.

Proposal-free methods directly model the interaction between video tokens and text, and aim to identify start/end boundaries along the video token sequence. Proposal-based methods generate candidate moments as propos- als and then select the best matching proposal2 as the answer. Each proposal is a continuous span of video tokens. To generate proposals, some methods enumer- ate all possible moment candidates via pre-defined anchors. Anchors are reference start/end positions along the video.
