MULSUM: A Multimodal Summarization System with Vis-Aligner and Diversity-Aware Image Selection (2026.eacl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing systems that condense text and images into concise, faithful digests are inefficient and require large fusion transformers.
Approach: They propose a framework that uses image embeddings to generate a visually informed text summary and a Diversity-Aware Image Selector to maximize images-relevance to the summary.
Outcome: The proposed framework outperforms baselines on automatic metrics such as ROUGE and human evaluation shows that selected images act as explanatory evidence rather than ornamental add-ons.
