| Challenge: | Recent advances in abstractive summarization systems produce factually inconsistent text . this is emphasized in tasks like summarizing, which often produce inconsistent text with no input article . |
| Approach: | They use reinforcement learning to optimize for factual consistency and explore trade-offs . they use textual-entailment rewards to optimize the accuracy of the generated summaries . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves faithfulness, salience and conciseness of the generated summaries. |

| Challenge: | Existing approaches for multi-objective Reinforcement Learning (RL) are difficult due to plurality of preferences and applications. |
| Approach: | They propose a framework for finetuning language models on multiple objectives using conditional language policy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms and Pareto-dominates existing approaches for multi-objective Reinforcement Learning (RL) it does not require training or maintaining multiple models to achieve different trade-offs between the objectives. |
