Abstract

As described herein, various embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatus, systems, computing devices, computing entities, and/or the like for performing natural language processing operations for generating guided summaries using summarization templates that are mapped to hybrid classes of a hybrid classification space for a hybrid classification machine learning model. In some embodiments, by using summarization templates, a proposed summarization framework is able to vastly reduce the computational complexity of performing summarization on an input document data object, such as an input multi-party communication transcript data object, by defining the set of dynamic data fields that apply to the input document data object based at least in part on an assigned class/category of the input document data object.
