• Abstract summary: Query-focused summarization (QFS) aims to produce summaries that answer particular questions of interest, enabling greater user control and personalization. We investigate two indispensable characteristics that the LLMs-based QFS models should be harnessed, Lengthy Document Summarization and Efficiently Fine-grained Query-LLM Alignment. These innovations pave the way for broader application and accessibility in the field of QFS technology.

• Abstract: Query-focused summarization (QFS) aims to produce summaries that answer particular questions of interest, enabling greater user control and personalization. With the advent of large language models (LLMs), shows their impressive capability of textual understanding through large-scale pretraining, which implies the great potential of extractive snippet generation. In this paper, we systematically investigated two indispensable characteristics that the LLMs-based QFS models should be harnessed, Lengthy Document Summarization and Efficiently Fine-grained Query-LLM Alignment, respectively. Correspondingly, we propose two modules called Query-aware HyperExpert and Query-focused Infini-attention to access the aforementioned characteristics. These innovations pave the way for broader application and accessibility in the field of QFS technology. Extensive experiments conducted on existing QFS benchmarks indicate the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed approach.

  We propose a knowledge-intensive approach that reframes query-focused summarization as a knowledge-intensive task setup. The retrieval module efficiently retrieves potentially relevant documents from a large-scale knowledge corpus. The summarization controller seamlessly integrates a powerful large language model (LLM)-based summarizer with a carefully tailored prompt.

  Open-domain question answering (ODQA) has emerged as a pivotal research spotlight in information systems.

We introduce a novel prompt optimization algorithm to refine role-playing prompts and steer LLMs to produce higher-quality evidence and answers.

Specifically, FlexKBQA leverages automated algorithms to sample diverse programs, such as SPARQL queries, from the knowledge base. We observe that under the few-shot even the more challenging zero-shot scenarios, FlexKBQA achieves impressive results with a few annotations.
