Arg-LLaDA: Argument Summarization via Large Language Diffusion Models and Sufficiency-Aware Refinement (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing approaches to argument summarization rely on single-pass generation, offering limited support for factual correction or structural refinement. |
| Approach: | They propose a large language diffusion framework that iteratively improves argument summarization by sufficiency-guided remasking and regeneration. |
| Outcome: | Empirical results show that Arg-LLaDA surpasses state-of-the-art baselines in 7 out of 10 evaluation metrics. |
