We've observed that due to the nature of news headlines, the model can generate good headlines from reading just a few sentences from the beginning of the article. This illustrates the importance of taking the trouble to understand a domain before trying to model it. I was taught in journalism class that the first paragraph of a newspaper article should summarize the story, the next 3-5 paragraphs summarize again, then the rest of the article fill in the details. Not only do the authors spend time discovering what should have been known from the outset, they reverse cause and effect. The model can generate good headlines due to the nature of newpaper writing, not due to the nature of headlines.
