Building Real-World Meeting Summarization Systems using Large Language Models: A Practical Perspective (2023.emnlp-industry)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a study examines how to build meeting summarization systems using large language models . closed-source models are generally better in terms of performance, but open-source ones are more advantageous for industrial use . |
| Approach: | They compare closed-source and open-source meeting summarization models for real-world use . they find that closed-sourced models are generally better in terms of performance . however, smaller open-sourced LLMs could still achieve comparable performance if they are open . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is more efficient for industrial use than closed-source models due to privacy concerns and high cost. |
What’s under the hood: Investigating Automatic Metrics on Meeting Summarization (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing evaluation metrics do not capture meeting-specific errors, leading to ineffective assessment. |
| Approach: | They examine the relationship between established metrics and human evaluations to determine what challenges and errors are captured by correlating metric scores with human evaluation. |
| Outcome: | The proposed measures show weak correlations with human evaluations and a third of the correlations show error masking. |
