Podcasts are a relatively new form of audio media. Episodes appear on a regular cadence, and come in many different formats and levels of formality. They can be formal news journalism or conversational chat; fiction or non-fiction. They are rapidly growing in popularity and yet have been relatively little studied. As an audio format, podcasts are more varied in style and production types than, say, broadcast news, and contain many more genres than typically studied in video research. The medium is therefore a rich domain with many research avenues for the IR and NLP communities. We present the Spotify Podcast Dataset, a set of approximately 100K podcast episodes comprised of raw audio files along with accompanying ASR transcripts. This represents over 47,000 hours of transcribed audio, and is an order of magnitude larger than previous speech-to-text corpora.

This paper contains the description of our submissions to the summarization task of the Podcast Track in TREC (the Text REtrieval Conference) 2020. The goal of this challenge was to generate short, informative summaries that contain the key informati
on present in a podcast episode using automatically generated transcripts of the podcast audio. Since podcasts vary with respect to their genre, topic, and granularity of information, we propose two summarization models that explicitly take genre and named entities into consideration in order to generate summaries appropriate to the style of the podcasts. Our models are abstractive, and supervised using creator-provided descriptions as ground truth summaries. The results of the submitted summaries show that our best model achieves an aggregate quality score of 1.58 in comparison to the creator descriptions and a baseline abstractive system which both score 1.49 (an improvement of 9%) as assessed by human evaluators.
Podcast summary, an important factor affecting end-users listening decisions, has often been considered a critical feature in podcast recommendation systems, as well as many downstream applications. Existing abstractive summarization approaches are m
ainly built on fine-tuned models on professionally edited texts such as CNN and DailyMail news. Different from news, podcasts are often longer, more colloquial and conversational, and noisier with contents on commercials and sponsorship, which makes automatic podcast summarization extremely challenging. This paper presents a baseline analysis of podcast summarization using the Spotify Podcast Dataset provided by TREC 2020. It aims to help researchers understand current state-of-the-art pre-trained models and hence build a foundation for creating better models.
Podcast summarization is different from summarization of other data formats, such as news, patents, and scientific papers in that podcasts are often longer, conversational, colloquial, and full of sponsorship and advertising information, which impose
s great challenges for existing models. In this paper, we focus on abstractive podcast summarization and propose a two-phase approach: sentence selection and seq2seq learning. Specifically, we first select important sentences from the noisy long podcast transcripts. The selection is based on sentence similarity to the reference to reduce the redundancy and the associated latent topics to preserve semantics. Then the selected sentences are fed into a pre-trained encoder-decoder framework for the summary generation. Our approach achieves promising results regarding both ROUGE-based measures and human evaluations.
Podcast recommendation is a growing area of research that presents new challenges and opportunities. Individuals interact with podcasts in a way that is distinct from most other media; and primary to our concerns is distinct from music consumption. W
e show that successful and consistent recommendations can be made by viewing users as moving through the podcast library sequentially. Recommendations for future podcasts are then made using the trajectory taken from their sequential behavior. Our experiments provide evidence that user behavior is confined to local trends, and that listening patterns tend to be found over short sequences of similar types of shows. Ultimately, our approach gives a450%increase in effectiveness over a collaborative filtering baseline.
Recently, Talmor and Berant (2018) introduced ComplexWebQuestions - a dataset focused on answering complex questions by decomposing them into a sequence of simpler questions and extracting the answer from retrieved web snippets. In their work the aut
hors used a pre-trained reading comprehension (RC) model (Salant and Berant, 2018) to extract the answer from the web snippets. In this short note we show that training a RC model directly on the training data of ComplexWebQuestions reveals a leakage from the training set to the test set that allows to obtain unreasonably high performance. As a solution, we construct a new partitioning of ComplexWebQuestions that does not suffer from this leakage and publicly release it. We also perform an empirical evaluation on these two datasets and show that training a RC model on the training data substantially improves state-of-the-art performance.
