Abstract
The Weibo-oriented Chinese news summarization task aims to automatically generate a short summary for a given Chinese news article, and the short summary is used for news release and propagation on Sina Weibo. The length of the short summary is less than 140 Chinese characters. The task can be considered a special case of single document summarization. In this paper, we will introduce the evaluation dataset, the participating teams and the evaluation results. The dataset has been released publicly.
