Challenge: Abstractive text summarization (ATS) requires a long document and short summaries.
Approach: They propose a query strategy for AL in abstractive text summarization that uses uncertainty estimation to reduce model performance.
Outcome: The proposed query strategy improves ROUGE and consistency scores for annotated datasets . it also increases the performance of the model, compared to passive annotation.
