One of the primary challenges in our previous attempt to summarize an ABC Evening News broadcast and distill it into distinct stories was that the full transcript exceeds ChatGPT's input length limitation. Using the captioning mode information in the underlying TTXT file, we segment the transcript into chunks between commercial breaks, but unfortunately in this case the broadcast runs 17 minutes and 42 seconds before its first commercial break, which yields an uninterrupted chunk of text that is too long for ChatGPT to process.

As a workaround, we developed the following workflow:

• First split the transcript using commercial breaks. This splits the transcript into chunks from 0:00-17:42 (the first commercial break), from 19:14 (the end of the first commercial break) to 19:40 (the second commercial break) and so on.
• For each of the resulting chunks, if a chunk crosses a 5:00 mark (0:00, 5:00, 10:00, 15:00, 20:00 or 25:00), split it into two chunks at the nearest sentence-ending punctuation after that point. So, for the initial 0:00-17:42 chunk, which spans 17 minutes and 42 seconds, this will split it into four chunks: from 0:00-5:00, from 5:00-10:00, from 10:00 to 15:00 and from 15:00 to 17:42.
• Each chunk is summarized independently by ChatGPT into a single paragraph summary.
• The combined single-paragraph summaries of all of the chunks are concatenated together and ChatGPT is asked to produce a summary of the final text.

This approach has the downside that it may split the transcript in a middle of a story (the transition from 0:00-5:00 to 5:00-10:00 might occur in the middle of a story), which would result in two chunks containing text about the same story. However, evening news broadcasts tend to interweave "teasers" about later stories throughout each broadcast, so this actually is not that dissimilar of a task from asking ChatGPT to summarize an entire transcript, since either way it will need to group together and weave story fragments into a unified narrative. Importantly, the final summarization task smooths these discontinuities together, since if a story is split across two chunks, this will piece them back together.

There are some edge cases that can occur, such as can be observed in the table at the end, where this multi-step process deprives the final summarization of enough detail about the New Jersey airport scare to yield a proper summary, but this could likely be improved with more advanced chunk splitting, such as using embeddings to compare the semantic similarity of each sentence to the one before it and split chunks between the most dissimilar sentences, rather than a hard 5-minute segmentation.

Despite these limitations, the end results are quite extraordinary. You can compare the results below with the original broadcast transcript and Vanderbilt Television News Archive's human-analyzed story segmentation of the broadcast.

Response:

The news is covering several developing stories tonight. One of the stories is about a suspected Chinese spy balloon hovering over the US and the discussions at the Pentagon over whether or not to shoot it down. The Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is postponing his trip to China due to the balloon's presence. Another story is about the dangerous and life-threatening cold moving into the Northeast, with multiple states expected to be affected and wind chill readings expected to reach below zero. Additionally, there is a report about an assault on an ER doctor, a scare at Newark airport involving two passenger jets clipping wings, a positive jobs report from President Biden, and the trial of Alex Murdaugh for double murder. The news will also cover Robin Roberts' epic jump from the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere and her lesson on conquering fear.

Reporter: FOR ITS PART, CHINA INSISTING TODAY THE BALLOON IS NOT A SPY VESSEL AT ALL BUT A CIVILIAN AIRSHIP USED FOR RESEARCH, MAINLY METEOROLOGICAL PURPOSES. THE PENTAGON FLATLY REJECTING THAT CLAIM. WE ARE AWARE OF THE PRC'S STATEMENT. HOWEVER, THE FACT IS, WE KNOW THAT IT'S A SURVEILLANCE PBALLO. WE HAVE CLEARLY COMMUNICATED THAT THIS BALLOON IS VIOLATING U.S. AIR SPACE AND INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THAT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. Reporter: CHINA SAYS THE BALLOON DEVIATED FAR FROM ITS PLANNED COURSE, BUT THE PENTAGON QUESTIONING THAT AS WELL, SAYING THE BALLOON CAN BE MANEUVERED.

THE PENTAGON SAYS THEY'VE DECIDED NOT TO SHOOT IT DOWN AT THIS POINT, BUT THAT OPTION ISN'T COMPLETELY OFF THE TABLE? Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT, DAVID, A U.S. OFFICIAL FAMILIAR WITH THE SITUATION SAYS THE CURRENT THINKING IS TO WAIT FOR THE BALLOON TO DRIFT OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND THEN SHOOT IT DOWN ONCE IT'S OVER U.S. TERRITORYIAL WATERS. THAT WAY YOU CAN AVOID INJURIES ON THE GROUND, AND TWO, RETRIEVE THE BALLOON, STUDY IT, AND ULTIMATELY EXPLOIT THE INTELLIGENCE. DAVID, TONIGHT CHINA SAYS IT REGRETS THE UNINTENDED ENTRY OF THE AIR SHIP INTO U.S. AIR SPACE, BUT AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, NOT EXACTLY FLYING WITH U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS WHO ARE CALLING THIS UNACCEPTABLE. MOLA LENGHI, THANK YOU. LET'S BRING IN MARY BRUCE. PRESIDENT BIDEN CHOSE NOT TO TALK ABOUT THIS TODAY, TRYING NOT TO ENFLAME THE SITUATION. WHAT ARE YOU LEARNING FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT? OBVIOUSLY THE PRESIDENT CONTINUING TO BE BRIEFED. AND ON MOLA'S POINT, IF YOU SHOT THIS DOWN OVER U.S. WATERS, THAT STILL IS A SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THIS OFF. Reporter: YES, DAVID. WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT IS BEING REGULARLY BRIEFED. HIS TEAM PRESENTED HIM WITH ALL OPTIONS, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE MILITARY ACTION TO TAKE THE BALLOON DOWN. NOW, INITIALLY BIDEN WAS ADVISED AGAINST THAT BECAUSE OF THE CONCERN OVER CIVILIAN RISK, BUT TONIGHT WE HAVE LEARNED THAT OPTION MAY BE BACK ON THE TABLE. ONE SOURCE TELLING US THE THINKING HERE IS TO WAIT UNTIL THE BALLOON GOES OUT TO SEE AND THEN SHOOT IT DOWN, BUT THIS IS VERY TRICKY. THEY WOULD HAVE JUST 12 NAUTICAL MILES TO DO THIS BEFORE ENTERING INTERNATIONAL WATERS AND CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO START AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT OVER THIS. TONIGHT WE ARE TOLD THE WHITE HOUSE IS KEEPING COMMUNICATIONS TO CHINA OPEN. BUT EVEN THOUGH BEIJING EXPRESSED REGRET, IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SALVAGE SECRETARY BLINKEN'S TRIP. WHAT IS CLEAR THIS IS ONLY FURTHER ESCALATING TENSIONS BETWEEN OUR TWO COUNTRIES. YEAH, NO QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THOSE 12 NAUTICAL MILES WOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY. MARY, THANK YOU.

Response:

A U.S. surveillance balloon has entered American airspace, causing controversy as the Pentagon is claiming it is a spy vessel while China claims it is a civilian airship for research purposes. President Biden has been presented with options for taking action against the balloon, including military action, but initially ruled out the possibility due to concerns over civilian risk. However, the option may be back on the table as the balloon is expected to linger above America for a few days and the U.S. may wait for it to drift over the Atlantic Ocean and then shoot it down once it's over U.S. territorial waters to avoid civilian injuries and retrieve the balloon. The President is being regularly briefed on the situation.

Response:

A brutal arctic front with snow squalls is pushing through the Northeast, causing concern for hypothermia, frostbite, and power outages. Doctors warn that hypothermia can set in quickly. Winds are already gusting over 40 mph, with wind chill advisories in effect for much of the region north of New York City. The morning will bring even more dangerous temperatures, with blizzard warnings in effect for some areas. There will be a rapid rebound in temperatures over the next three days, but people are advised to take the next 36 hours seriously. Meanwhile, in California, an emergency room doctor was struck by a car and then attacked with a knife by the driver. The doctor later died at the hospital. The suspect has been charged with murder and the use of a deadly weapon. Also, two passenger jets at Newark airport had a scare when they clipped wings while one was getting ready to take off.

Response:

The economy is showing strength, with widespread hiring across nearly every industry. Leisure and hospitality is the strongest sector, adding over 100,000 jobs, as people continue to spend money on travel and dining out. Professional, government and healthcare jobs are also holding strong despite layoffs at tech companies. The report suggests that the Federal Reserve's eight consecutive interest rate hikes have not led to any kind of recession or instability in the economy, and the Fed is expected to continue raising interest rates. On the other hand, the trial of Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of murdering his wife and son, continues to unfold. The defense is pushing for the murder weapon to be ruled out, and the judge is deciding whether to allow evidence of Murdaugh's financial crimes and greed to be heard by the jury. The long-time housekeeper of Murdaugh died in a fall at the family's home and her family didn't know about the $4 million insurance payout until after the murders.

Another story is about the dangerous and life-threatening cold moving into the Northeast, with multiple states expected to be affected and wind chill readings expected to reach below zero. Additionally, there is a report about an assault on an ER doctor, a scare at Newark airport involving two passenger jets clipping wings, a positive jobs report from President Biden, and the trial of Alex Murdaugh for double murder. The news will also cover Robin Roberts' epic jump from the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere and her lesson on conquering fear. A U.S. surveillance balloon has entered American airspace, causing controversy as the Pentagon is claiming it is a spy vessel while China claims it is a civilian airship for research purposes. President Biden has been presented with options for taking action against the balloon, including military action, but initially ruled out the possibility due to concerns over civilian risk. However, the option may be back on the table as the balloon is expected to linger above America for a few days and the U.S. may wait for it to drift over the Atlantic Ocean and then shoot it down once it's over U.S. territorial waters to avoid civilian injuries and retrieve the balloon. The President is being regularly briefed on the situation. A brutal arctic front with snow squalls is pushing through the Northeast, causing concern for hypothermia, frostbite, and power outages. Doctors warn that hypothermia can set in quickly. Winds are already gusting over 40 mph, with wind chill advisories in effect for much of the region north of New York City. The morning will bring even more dangerous temperatures, with blizzard warnings in effect for some areas. There will be a rapid rebound in temperatures over the next three days, but people are advised to take the next 36 hours seriously. Meanwhile, in California, an emergency room doctor was struck by a car and then attacked with a knife by the driver. The doctor later died at the hospital. The suspect has been charged with murder and the use of a deadly weapon. Also, two passenger jets at Newark airport had a scare when they clipped wings while one was getting ready to take off. The economy is showing strength, with widespread hiring across nearly every industry. Leisure and hospitality is the strongest sector, adding over 100,000 jobs, as people continue to spend money on travel and dining out. Professional, government and healthcare jobs are also holding strong despite layoffs at tech companies. The report suggests that the Federal Reserve's eight consecutive interest rate hikes have not led to any kind of recession or instability in the economy, and the Fed is expected to continue raising interest rates. On the other hand, the trial of Alex Murdaugh, who is accused of murdering his wife and son, continues to unfold. The defense is pushing for the murder weapon to be ruled out, and the judge is deciding whether to allow evidence of Murdaugh's financial crimes and greed to be heard by the jury. The long-time housekeeper of Murdaugh died in a fall at the family's home and her family didn't know about the $4 million insurance payout until after the murders. The news from the Tyre Nichols investigation reveals that the white officer seen using his taser in the initial traffic stop has been fired. Five other former officers have been fired and are facing second-degree murder charges, and a seventh officer has been suspended pending investigation. A man has been charged by police in Dallas for the disappearance of two Tamarin monkeys and other crimes at the Dallas Zoo. The man was seen on surveillance near the enclosure and is responsible for cutting other enclosures. The monkeys were found at an abandoned church. Meanwhile, in New York, police are investigating an escaped owl from its enclosure at the Central Park Zoo, which had been vandalized. The bird has been spotted in the city and in Central Park. The news story focuses on the issue of possible prostitution and human trafficking outside a K-8 grade school in Oakland. Robin Roberts took a deep breath and took a leap of faith in the birthplace of bungee jumping, New Zealand. The video showed her taking a sky jump in Auckland, conquering her fear and "living more and fearing less." Meanwhile, the city of Oakland is taking action following the concerns about the safety of students outside the school. The city is committed to further enforcement, including more patrols and new surveillance cameras, and is working with the FBI to address the problem."
