SummPilot: Bridging Efficiency and Customization for Interactive Summarization System
This work proposes SummPilot, an interactive and customizable summarization system powered by large language models that reconciles the efficiency of automated summarization with users’ personalized needs. For the first time, it integrates an interactive semantic graph, entity clustering, and an interpretable evaluation mechanism within a unified framework, enabling users to actively shape summary generation through visual exploration of semantic structures and key entities. By balancing automation with user control, SummPilot significantly enhances the utility and adaptability of generated summaries, as demonstrated in user studies. The results validate its effectiveness across diverse application scenarios requiring tailored summarization.
