Keyphrase Generation (KG) is the task of generating central topics from a given document or literary work, which captures the crucial information necessary to understand the content. Documents such as scientific literature contain rich meta-sentence information, which represents the logical-semantic structure of the documents. However, previous approaches ignore the constraints of document logical structure, and hence they mistakenly generate keyphrases from unimportant sentences. To address this problem, we propose a new method called Sentence Selective Network (SenSeNet) to incorporate the meta-sentence inductive bias into KG. In SenSeNet, we use a straight-through estimator for end-to-end training and incorporate weak supervision in the training of the sentence selection module. Experimental results show that SenSeNet can consistently improve the performance of major KG models based on seq2seq framework, which demonstrate the effectiveness of capturing structural information and distinguishing the significance of sentences in KG task.
