PSK at WMT 2026 MIST: Task-Specialized QLoRA Adapters for Multilingual Summarization and Question Answering

The PSK submission to the WMT 2026 Multilingual Instruction Shared Task employs a 3.35B‑parameter Tiny Aya Global model enhanced with three QLoRA adapters, each dedicated to a specific task: multilingual summarization, passage‑based question answering, and filtered standalone question answering. The summarization adapter is trained on multilingual document‑summary pairs, including scientific papers with author‑written abstracts, and outperforms a multitask adapter trained solely on organizer data on a held‑out split. For open question answering, results vary with answer length and evaluation method, prompting the submission of three systems that share the same context and summarization adapters but differ in their open‑QA adapters.

Naver-News-KO: A Korean News Summarization Dataset for Open-Source Fine-Tuning of Summarization Models

arXiv:2607. 20442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We release Naver-News-KO, a Korean news summarization dataset of 27,400 (document, summary) pairs collected from Naver News over a ten-day window in July 2022 across two categories (Economy and IT/Science; 77/23 split), with train/validation/test partitions of 22,194 / 2,466 / 2,740 and a mean per-record document-to-summary character-compression ratio of 6.

Loss-Based Active Learning for Neural Abstractive Summarization

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×.
