Neural Sentence Ordering

Understand

Sentence ordering is a general and critical task for natural language generation applications.

• Previous works have focused on improving its performance in an external, downstream task, such as multi-document summarization.
• Given its importance, we propose to study it as an isolated task.
• We collect a large corpus of academic texts, and derive a data driven approach to learn pairwise ordering of sentences, and validate the efficacy with extensive experiments.
