Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a provide a fully unsupervised model for text compression. Specifically, the unsupervised model is configured to identify an optimal deletion path for each input sequence of texts (e.g., a sentence) and words from the input sequence are gradually deleted along the deletion path. To identify the optimal deletion path, the unsupervised model may adopt a pretrained bidirectional language model (BERT) to score each candidate deletion based on the average perplexity of the resulting sentence and performs a simple greedy look-ahead tree search to select the best deletion for each step.
