Loss-Based Active Learning for Neural Abstractive Summarization proposes LOBSTER, an active learning framework that selects unlabeled documents similar to the model’s high‑loss training examples to correct specific weaknesses. The method is tailored for abstractive summarization, addressing instability and computational bottlenecks seen in prior work. Experiments on three benchmark datasets and two backbone models show that LOBSTER matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art performance while speeding up query selection by up to 665×.

SAGE (Subpopulation-Aware Generative Enhancement) is a two-stage generative augmentation framework designed to mitigate spurious correlations in machine learning when group labels are unavailable. It uses cluster-derived sub-labels and class labels to fine‑tune a conditional generative model and text encoder, producing synthetic data that fills underrepresented regions and creates a balanced validation set for last‑layer reweighting. Experiments show SAGE improves worst‑group accuracy to 89.5%, 85.7%, and 79.1% on Waterbirds, CelebA, and MetaShift, outperforming existing group‑label‑free baselines by up to 7.7 percentage points.
