• Abstract: In Natural Language Processing, multi-document summarization (MDS) poses many challenges to researchers above those posed by single-document summarization (SDS). These challenges include the increased search space and greater potential for the inclusion of redundant information. While advancements in deep learning approaches have led to the development of several advanced language models capable of summarization, the variety of training data specific to the problem of MDS remains relatively limited. Therefore, MDS approaches which require little to no pretraining, known as few-shot or zero-shot applications, respectively, could be beneficial additions to the current set of tools available in summarization. To explore one possible approach, we devise a strategy for combining state-of-the-art models' outputs using maximal marginal relevance (MMR) with a focus on query relevance rather than document diversity. Our MMR-based approach shows improvement over some aspects of the current state-of-the-art results in both few-shot and zero-shot MDS applications while maintaining a state-of-the-art standard of output by all available metrics.

  Multi-modal class-incremental learning (MMCIL) seeks to leverage multi-modal data, such as audio-visual and image-text pairs. A critical challenge remains: the issue of missing modalities during incremental learning phases. We propose PAL, a novel exemplar-free framework tailored to MMCIL under missing-modality scenarios.

  We introduce MID-M, a novel framework that leverages the in-context learning capabilities of a general-domain Large Language Model (LLM) to process multimodal data via image descriptions. MID-M achieves a comparable or superior performance to task-specific fine-tuned LMMs and other general-domain ones, without the extensive domain-specific training or pre-training on multimodal data. The robustness of MID-M against data quality issues demonstrates its practical utility in real-world medical domain applications.
