• Abstract: We introduce a dataset of high-quality human-authored summaries of news articles in Norwegian. The dataset is intended for benchmarking the abstractive summarisation capabilities of generative language models. Each document in the dataset is provided with three different candidate gold-standard summaries written by native Norwegian speakers, and all summaries are provided in both of the written variants of Norwegian -- Bokm{\aa}l and Nynorsk. The paper describes details on the data creation effort as well as an evaluation of existing open LLMs for Norwegian on the dataset. We also provide insights from a manual human evaluation, comparing human-authored to model-generated summaries. Our results indicate that the dataset provides a challenging LLM benchmark for Norwegian summarisation capabilities

  The data covers a wide range of skills and knowledge domains, including world knowledge, commonsense reasoning, truthfulness, and knowledge about Norway. Our datasets comprise over 10k question-answer pairs, created by native speakers. Most LMs perform better in Bokmaal than Nynorsk, struggle most with commonsense reasoning, and are often untruthful in generating answers to questions.

Preliminary experiments with Falcon-40B and Llama-2-13B show significant performance improvements (10% Rouge-L) in terms of producing coherent summaries.

  Norwegian, spoken by only 5 million population, is under-representative within the most impressive breakthroughs in NLP tasks. To fill this gap, we compiled the existing Norwegian dataset and pre-trained 4 Norwegian Open Language Models. We find that the mainstream, English-dominated LM GPT-3.5 has limited capability in understanding the Norwegian context.

OurNMT results in substantial improvements over dataset-specific models with significantly reduced model deployment costs.

  In zero-shot multilingual extractive text summarization, a model is typically trained on English dataset and then applied on summarization datasets of other languages. We propose NLS (Neural Label Search for Summarization), which jointly learns hierarchical weights for different sets of labels together with our summarization model. We conduct multilingual zero-shot summarization experiments on MLSUM and WikiLingua datasets, and we achieve state-of-the-art results using both human and automatic evaluations.
