CARPAS: Towards Content-Aware Refinement of Provided Aspects for Summarization in Large Language Models

The paper introduces CARPAS, a new task that dynamically refines user-provided aspects for aspect-based summarization in large language models (LLMs). It presents three new datasets and evaluates four prompting strategies, finding that LLMs tend to over-generate aspects, leading to overly long and misaligned summaries. To address this, the authors propose a two-stage framework that first generates lightweight scope guidance before aspect refinement and summarization, which improves focus, reduces over-generation, and enhances performance across all datasets.
