Scientific long-document summarization datasets commonly treat author-written abstracts as gold reference summaries, although their quality and alignment with the source article vary. At the same time, publicly available scientific summarization datasets remain limited in scale and structure for modern long-context models.

The study evaluates AI-generated summaries for cancer patients using a dual assessment framework that includes human experts and LLM-as-a-judge. Human domain experts—oncology clinicians and patient-facing care staff—assess summary quality on accuracy, clinical relevance, and readability. The research identifies limitations such as omissions and minor inaccuracies, which are then used to iteratively refine prompts, grounding, and safety guardrails.

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×.
