This paper introduces the shared task of summarizing documents in several
creative domains, namely literary texts, movie scripts, and television scripts.
Summarizing these creative documents requires making complex literary
interpretations, as well as understanding non-trivial temporal dependencies in
texts containing varied styles of plot development and narrative structure.
This poses unique challenges and is yet underexplored for text summarization
systems. In this shared task, we introduce four sub-tasks and their
corresponding datasets, focusing on summarizing books, movie scripts, primetime
television scripts, and daytime soap opera scripts. We detail the process of
curating these datasets for the task, as well as the metrics used for the
evaluation of the submissions. As part of the CREATIVESUMM workshop at COLING
2022, the shared task attracted 18 submissions in total. We discuss the
submissions and the baselines for each sub-task in this paper, along with
directions for facilitating future work in the field.
