Challenge: Existing datasets for automatic text summarization are small and focused on newswires.
Approach: They propose to automatically generate a large multilingual multi-document summarization corpus using Wikipedia articles as summaries and to automatically search for appropriate source documents.
Outcome: The proposed corpus contains 7,316 topics in English and German with different summary lengths and number of source documents.

Beyond Generic Summarization: A Multi-faceted Hierarchical Summarization Corpus of Large Heterogeneous Data (L18-1)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Automated summarization has focused on ten to twenty documents, typically news articles, but could in theory analyze hundreds of documents from a wide range of sources and provide an overview to the interested reader.
Approach: They propose a method for creating hierarchical summarization corpora from large, heterogeneous document collections by crowdsourcing relevant content and asking trained annotators to order the relevant information hierarchically.
Outcome: The proposed method can be used to develop and evaluate hierarchical summarization systems.
Models and Datasets for Cross-Lingual Summarisation (2021.emnlp-main)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Recent years have witnessed increased interest in abstractive summarisation thanks to the popularity of neural network models and the availability of datasets containing hundreds of thousands of document-summary pairs.
Approach: They propose to create a cross-lingual summarisation corpus with long documents in a source language associated with multi-sentence summaries in . target language.
Outcome: The proposed task can be applied to several other languages and covers twelve languages and directions.
Multi-News: A Large-Scale Multi-Document Summarization Dataset and Abstractive Hierarchical Model (P19-1)

Challenge: Multi-document summarization (MDS) of news articles has been limited to datasets of a couple of hundred examples.
Approach: They propose a model which integrates a traditional extractive summarization model with a standard SDS model and achieves competitive results on MDS datasets.
Outcome: The proposed model achieves competitive results on large-scale datasets.

Challenge: Abstractive summarization methods require large corpora to train neural architectures.
Approach: They propose a novel automatic corpus construction approach that automatically constructs large open-licensed summarization corpora from existing large text collections and an evaluation process with human annotators.
Outcome: The proposed approach can be used to train abstractive summarization models on large corpora and through a manual evaluation with human annotators.

Topic-Guided Abstractive Multi-Document Summarization (2021.findings-emnlp)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing studies on multi-document summarization (MDS) focus on extractive and abstractive approaches to create a fluent and concise summary for a collection of thematically related documents.
Approach: They propose a novel abstractive MDS model that represents multiple documents as a heterogeneous graph and then applies a graph-to-sequence framework to generate summaries.
Outcome: The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on Rouge scores and human evaluation, while learning high-quality topics.
Towards Multi-dimensional Evaluation of LLM Summarization across Domains and Languages (2025.acl-long)

Copied to clipboard

Challenge: Existing evaluation frameworks for text summarization lack domain-specific assessment criteria and are predominantly English-centric.
Approach: They propose a multi-dimensional, multi-domain evaluation of summarization in English and Chinese that incorporates specialized assessment criteria for each domain and leverages a debate system to enhance annotation quality.
Outcome: The proposed evaluation framework provides a multi-dimensional, multi-domain evaluation of summarization in English and Chinese.
