Keyphrase Generation: A Text Summarization Struggle
Proceedings of 2019 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Minneapolis, USA, 2019
Authors’ keyphrases assigned to scientific articles are essential for recognizing content and topic aspects. Most of the proposed supervised and unsupervised methods for keyphrase generation are unable to produce terms that are valuable but do not appear in the text. In this paper, we explore the possibility of considering the keyphrase string as an abstractive summary of the title and the abstract. First, we collect, process and release a large dataset of scientific paper metadata that contains 2.2 million records. Then we experiment with popular text summarization neural architectures. Despite using advanced deep learning models, large quantities of data and many days of computation, our systematic evaluation on four test datasets reveals that the explored text summarization methods could not produce better keyphrases than the simpler unsupervised methods, or the existing supervised ones.
KPDROP: Improving Absent Keyphrase Generation
Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2022
Keyphrase generation is the task of generating phrases (keyphrases) that summarize the main topics of a given document. Keyphrases can be either present or absent from the given document. While the extraction of present keyphrases has received much attention in the past, only recently a stronger focus has been placed on the generation of absent keyphrases. However, generating absent keyphrases is challenging; even the best methods show only a modest degree of success. In this paper, we propose a model-agnostic approach called keyphrase dropout (or KPDROP) to improve absent keyphrase generation. In this approach, we randomly drop present keyphrases from the document and turn them into artificial absent keyphrases during training. We test our approach extensively and show that it consistently improves the absent performance of strong baselines in both supervised and resourceconstrained semi-supervised settings 1 .
Structure-Augmented Keyphrase Generation
Proceedings of the 2021 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing
This paper studies the keyphrase generation (KG) task for scenarios where structure plays an important role. For example, a scientific publication consists of a short title and a long body, where the title can be used for de-emphasizing unimportant details in the body. Similarly, for short social media posts (e.g., tweets), scarce context can be augmented from titles, though often missing. Our contribution is generating/augmenting structure then encoding these information, using existing keyphrases of other documents, complementing missing/incomplete titles. Specifically, we first extend the given document with related but absent keyphrases from existing keyphrases, to augment missing contexts (generating structure), and then, build a graph of keyphrases and the given document, to obtain structure-aware representation of the augmented text (encoding structure). Our empirical results validate that our proposed structure augmentation and structure-aware encoding can improve KG for both scenarios, outperforming the state-of-the-art 1 .
KPDrop: An Approach to Improving Absent Keyphrase Generation

Keyphrase generation is the task of generating phrases (keyphrases) that summarize the main topics of a given document. The generated keyphrases can be either present or absent from the text of the given document. While the extraction of present keyphrases has received much attention in the past, only recently a stronger focus has been placed on the generation of absent keyphrases. However, generating absent keyphrases is very challenging; even the best methods show only a modest degree of success. In this paper, we propose an approach, called keyphrase dropout (or KPDROP), to improve absent keyphrase generation. We randomly drop present keyphrases from the document and turn them into artificial absent keyphrases during training. We test our approach extensively and show that it consistently improves the absent performance of strong baselines in keyphrase generation.

Keyphrase provides highly-condensed information that can be effectively used for understanding, organizing and retrieving text content. Though previous studies have provided many workable solutions for automated keyphrase extraction, they commonly divided the to-be-summarized content into multiple text chunks, then ranked and selected the most meaningful ones. These approaches could neither identify keyphrases that do not appear in the text, nor capture the real semantic meaning behind the text. We propose a generative model for keyphrase prediction with an encoder-decoder framework, which can effectively overcome the above drawbacks. We name it as deep keyphrase generation since it attempts to capture the deep semantic meaning of the content with a deep learning method. Empirical analysis on six datasets demonstrates that our proposed model not only achieves a significant performance boost on extracting keyphrases that appear in the source text, but also can generate absent keyphrases based on the semantic meaning of the text.

Representation Learning for Resource-Constrained Keyphrase Generation
ArXiv, 2022
State-of-the-art keyphrase generation methods generally depend on large annotated datasets, limiting their performance in domains with constrained resources. To overcome this challenge, we investigate strategies to learn an intermediate representation suitable for the keyphrase generation task. We introduce salient span recovery and salient span prediction as guided denoising language modeling objectives that condense the domainspecific knowledge essential for keyphrase generation. Through experiments on multiple scientific keyphrase generation benchmarks, we show the effectiveness of the proposed approach for facilitating low-resource and zeroshot keyphrase generation. Furthermore, we observe that our method especially benefits the generation of absent keyphrases, approaching the performance of SOTA methods trained with large training sets.
Keyphrase Generation Beyond the Boundaries of Title and Abstract
ArXiv, 2021
Keyphrase generation aims at generating phrases (keyphrases) that best describe a given document. In scholarly domains, current approaches to this task are neural approaches and have largely worked with only the title and abstract of the articles. In this work, we explore whether the integration of additional data from semantically similar articles or from the full text of the given article can be helpful for a neural keyphrase generation model. We discover that adding sentences from the full text particularly in the form of summary of the article can significantly improve the generation of both types of keyphrases that are either present or absent from the title and abstract. The experimental results on the three acclaimed models along with one of the latest transformer models suitable for longer documents, Longformer Encoder-Decoder (LED) validate the observation. We also present a new large-scale scholarly dataset FULLTEXTKP for keyphrase generation, which we use for our experime...
One Size Does Not Fit All: Generating and Evaluating Variable Number of Keyphrases
Proceedings of the 58th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2020
Different texts shall by nature correspond to different number of keyphrases. This desideratum is largely missing from existing neural keyphrase generation models. In this study, we address this problem from both modeling and evaluation perspectives. We first propose a recurrent generative model that generates multiple keyphrases as delimiter-separated sequences. Generation diversity is further enhanced with two novel techniques by manipulating decoder hidden states. In contrast to previous approaches, our model is capable of generating diverse keyphrases and controlling number of outputs. We further propose two evaluation metrics tailored towards the variable-number generation. We also introduce a new dataset (ST A C KEX) that expands beyond the only existing genre (i.e., academic writing) in keyphrase generation tasks. With both previous and new evaluation metrics, our model outperforms strong baselines on all datasets.
Keyphrase Generation with GANs in Low-Resources Scenarios
Proceedings of SustaiNLP: Workshop on Simple and Efficient Natural Language Processing, 2020
Keyphrase Generation is the task of predicting Keyphrases (KPs), short phrases that summarize the semantic meaning of a given document. Several past studies provided diverse approaches to generate Keyphrases for an input document. However, all of these approaches still need to be trained on very large datasets. In this paper, we introduce BeGan-KP, a new conditional GAN model to address the problem of Keyphrase Generation in a low-resource scenario. Our main contribution relies in the Discriminator's architecture: a new BERT-based module which is able to distinguish between the generated and humancurated KPs reliably. Its characteristics allow us to use it in a low-resource scenario, where only a small amount of training data are available, obtaining an efficient Generator. The resulting architecture achieves, on five public datasets, competitive results with respect to the state-of-the-art approaches, using less than 1% of the training data.
Keyphrase Generation: A Multi-Aspect Survey
Proceedings of FRUCT 2019, the 25th Conference of the Open Innovations Association FRUCT, Helsinki, Finland, 2019
Extractive keyphrase generation research has been around since the nineties, but the more advanced abstractive approach based on the encoder-decoder framework and sequence-to-sequence learning has been explored only recently. In fact, more than a dozen of abstractive methods have been proposed in the last three years, producing meaningful keyphrases and achieving state-of-the-art scores. In this survey, we examine various aspects of the extractive keyphrase generation methods and focus mostly on the more recent abstractive methods that are based on neural networks. We pay particular attention to the mechanisms that have driven the perfection of the later. A huge collection of scientific article metadata and the corresponding keyphrases is created and released for the research community. We also present various keyphrase generation and text summarization research patterns and trends of the last two decades.
