UPB at GermEval 2020 Task 3: Assessing Summaries for German Texts using BERTScore and Sentence BERT
The overwhelming amount of online text information available today has increased the need for more research on its automatic summarization. In this work, we describe our participation in GermEval2020, Task 3: German Text Summarization. We compare two BERT based metrics, Sentence BERT and BERTScore, to automatically evaluate the quality of summaries in the German language. Our lowest error rate achieved was 31.9925, ranking us in 4th place out of 6 participating teams.
