Challenge: Existing studies on cross-lingual summarization rely on pseudo-cross-lingual datasets . such an approach would lead to the loss of information in the original document and introduce noise into the summary .
Approach: They present a high-quality cross-lingual long text abstractive summarization dataset . it contains 20,000 parallel news articles and corresponding summaries written by humans .
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms monolingual systems in the cross-lingual task.
