Metadata based Contextual summarizer for Technical Conversations in Public forums

In recent years, the task of sequence to sequence based neural abstractive||summarization has gained a lot of attention. Many novel strategies have been||used to improve the saliency, human readability, and consistency of these models,||resulting in high-quality summaries. However, because the majority of these pretrained||models were trained on news datasets, they contain an inherent bias. One||such bias is that most of these generated summaries originate from the start or end||of the text, much like a news story might be summarised.
