We have tested the limits of learning fine-grained attention in Transformers to improve the summarization quality.
Our model tends to be more extractive/factual yet coherent in detail because of optimization over ROUGE rewards.

- Abstract: We present a novel architectural scheme to tackle the abstractive
summarization problem based on the CNN/DMdataset which fuses Reinforcement
Learning (RL) withUniLM, which is a pre-trained Deep Learning Model, to solve
various natural language tasks. We have tested the limits of learning
fine-grained attention in Transformers to improve the summarization quality.
UniLM applies attention to the entire token space in a global fashion. We
propose DR.SAS which applies the Actor-Critic (AC) algorithm to learn a dynamic
self-attention distribution over the tokens to reduce redundancy and generate
factual and coherent summaries to improve the quality of summarization. After
performing hyperparameter tuning, we achievedbetter ROUGE results compared to
the baseline. Our model tends to be more extractive/factual yet coherent in
detail because of optimization over ROUGE rewards. We present detailed error
analysis with examples of the strengths and limitations of our model. Our
codebase will be publicly available on our GitHub.

Large language model (LLM)-based automatic text summarization models generate more factually consistent summaries.
We employ zero-shot learning to extract symbolic knowledge from LLMs, generating factually consistent (positive) and inconsistent (negative) summaries.
Our approach achieves better factual consistency while maintaining coherence, fluency, and relevance, as confirmed by various automatic evaluation metrics.

Improves LLM Generalization [165.98557106089777]
A key challenge is to enhance the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) amid a looming shortage of high-quality training data.
Our study starts from an empirical strategy for the light continual training of LLMs using their original pre-training data sets.
We then formalize this strategy into a principled framework of Instance-Reweighted Distributionally Robust Optimization.

We use amortized Bayesian inference to sample from intractable posterior distributions.
We empirically demonstrate that this distribution-matching paradigm of LLM fine-tuning can serve as an effective alternative to maximum-likelihood training.
As an important application, we interpret chain-of-thought reasoning as a latent variable modeling problem.

We present a novel unsupervised model named variational sequence auto-encoding reconstruction (VSAR), which performs latent sequence inference given an observed text.
To leverage information from text pairs, we additionally introduce a novel supervised model we call dual directional learning (DDL), which is designed to integrate with our proposed VSAR model.
Our empirical evaluations suggest that the combined model yields competitive performance against the state-of-the-art supervised baselines on complete data.

Span-Fact is a suite of two factual correction models that leverages knowledge learned from question answering models to make corrections in system-generated summaries via span selection.
Our models employ single or multi-masking strategies to either iteratively or auto-regressively replace entities in order to ensure semantic consistency w.r.t. the source text.
Experiments show that our models significantly boost the factual consistency of system-generated summaries without sacrificing summary quality in terms of both automatic metrics and human evaluation.
