    <abstract>A modular approach has the advantage of being compositional and controllable, comparing to most end-to-end models. In this paper we propose Extract-Select-Rewrite (ESR), a three-phase abstractive sentence summarization method. We decompose summarization into three stages: (i) knowledge extraction, where we extract relation triples from the text using off-the-shelf tools; (ii) content selection, where a subset of triples are selected; and (iii) rewriting, where the selected triple are realized into natural language. Our results demonstrates that ESR is competitive with the best end-to-end models while being more faithful. %than these baseline models. Being modular, ESR’s modules can be trained on separate data which is beneficial in low-resource settings and enhancing the style controllability on text generation.</abstract>
