• Abstract: With the explosive growth of textual information, summarization systems have become increasingly important. This work aims to concisely indicate the current state of the art in abstractive text summarization. As part of this, we outline the current paradigm shifts towards pre-trained encoder-decoder models and large autoregressive language models. Additionally, we delve further into the challenges of evaluating summarization systems and the potential of instruction-tuned models for zero-shot summarization. Finally, we provide a brief overview of how summarization systems are currently being integrated into commercial applications.

  We propose an end-to-end neural model for dialogue summarization with two novel modules.

The fact regularization encourages the generated summary to be factually consistent with the ground-truth summary during model training.

• Multi-Fact Correction in Abstractive Text Summarization [98.27031108197944]
  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.
