SummaCoz: A Dataset for Improving the Interpretability of Factual Consistency Detection for Summarization (2024.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Summarization is an important application of Large Language Models. |
| Approach: | They integrate human-annotated and model-generated natural language explanations to elucidate how a summary deviates and becomes inconsistent with its source article. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model provides rationales for its judgments and improves its accuracy significantly. |
SueNes: A Weakly Supervised Approach to Evaluating Single-Document Summarization via Negative Sampling (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on automatic summary evaluation metrics focus on lexical similarity and require a reference summary which is expensive to obtain. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a weakly supervised summary evaluation approach without the presence of reference summaries to transform existing summarization datasets into corrupted reference summarizers. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines and shows that it improves linguistic quality over all metrics. |
On the Intractability to Synthesize Factual Inconsistencies in Summarization (2024.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for detecting factual inconsistencies in abstractive summarization are lacking in factual consistency detection. |
| Approach: | They propose to use real model-generated summaries with human annotations to detect factual inconsistencies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the SOTA on CoGenSumm, FactCC, Frank, and SummEval datasets. |
DocAsRef: An Empirical Study on Repurposing Reference-based Summary Quality Metrics as Reference-free Metrics (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing reference-based metrics are limited by their reliance on human input. |
| Approach: | They propose to adapt some reference-based metrics to assess system summary against human-written references. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms reference-based metrics on two datasets and is comparable to reference-free metrics. |
