Evaluating the Evaluator: Summarization Metrics and LLM-Judges beyond English

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.

Summarization is Not Dead Yet

arXiv:2606. 08000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The progress of large language models (LLMs) has fueled claims that model-generated summaries rival or even surpass human-written references, raising questions about whether summarization remains an open research problem.

PromptNCE: Conditional Probabilities and PMI Using Only LLMs and Contrastive Estimation Prompts

The paper introduces PromptNCE, a zero‑shot method that uses large language models to estimate pointwise mutual information (PMI) by framing conditional probability estimation as a contrastive task with an explicit OTHER category. The authors benchmark PromptNCE against four other prompting‑based estimators on three human‑annotated datasets, finding that PromptNCE achieves the best conditional probability estimates and Spearman correlations up to 0.78 for full PMI. A case study demonstrates the method’s utility for scoring student knowledge summaries in low‑data settings, and the authors release code and prompts for reproducibility.

AutoJourn: Multi-Perspective Summarisation, Bias Detection and Bias Neutralisation for LLM-Generated News in Automated Journalism

We present AutoJourn, a demonstration system for multi-perspective news generation and bias-aware evaluation using large language models (LLMs). The system tackles three core challenges in responsible automated journalism: extracting diverse perspectives from unstructured social media discussions, generating summaries that preserve viewpoint diversity, and detecting or mitigating bias in AI-generated news.
