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.
arXiv:2407. 10486v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Query-focused summarization (QFS) aims to produce summaries that answer particular questions of interest, enabling greater user control and personalization.
arXiv:2606. 19591v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In this technical report, we focus on solving the challenge of Vietnamese multi-document abstractive summarization, introduced in the International Workshop on Vietnamese Language and Speech Processing (VLSP) 2022.
arXiv:2606. 03867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-Document Summarization (MDS) plays a critical role in distilling essential information from collections of textual data.
arXiv:2608. 19200v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Text summarization refers to the task of condensing a document into a shorter version while preserving its key information.
The paper introduces BASSE, a multilingual meta‑evaluation dataset containing 2,040 human‑rated abstractive summaries produced manually or by five LLMs with four prompts. Annotators scored each summary on coherence, consistency, fluency, relevance, and 5W1H using a 5‑point Likert scale. Benchmarking shows proprietary LLM‑judge models best align with human judgments, followed by criteria‑specific automatic metrics, while open‑source judge LLMs perform poorly.
arXiv:2606. 01252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-target cross-lingual text summarization (MTXLS), which summarizes a source document into multiple target languages, is increasingly important as users consume content in diverse languages, but remains underexplored.
arXiv:2606. 05494v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic text summarization has become increasingly important due to the rapid growth of digital textual information.
arXiv:2607. 10390v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Although large language models (LLMs) have shown promising potential in news summarization tasks, their performance on long-document summarization remains challenging as their length often exceeds the input limits.
We’ve trained a large-scale unsupervised language model which generates coherent paragraphs of text, achieves state-of-the-art performance on many language modeling benchmarks, and performs rudimentary reading comprehension, machine translation, question answering, and summarization—all without task-specific training.
The paper introduces Highlight-Then-Summarize (H2S), a two-step approach that first highlights question-relevant evidence in long documents and then condenses it into a compact, question-conditioned summary before generating an answer. The authors built the H2S-Dataset with 6,647 examples spanning 11 benchmark families, and developed H2S-RL to reward evidence selection and summary construction. Evaluated on the H2S-Bench suite, the H2S-14B model outperforms larger open-source models, achieving the highest overall score and maintaining strong performance even with a reduced output budget.
arXiv:2608. 03655v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Abstractive summarization models remain vulnerable to factual inconsistency, redundancy, and weak length control.
