ABSTRACT
Motivated by the significant role of numeric values to convey concise and accurate information in news headlines, we focus the headline generation task on displaying correct numbers. We propose various ways to present the numeric values to the generative model. In the end, we come up with a simple but effective pre-train task to guide the generator to correctly process the values, which outperforms other base models even if the numbers in the headline are newly generated from the article.
