PRIMER: Pyramid-based Masked Sentence Pre-training for Multi-document Summarization.

2021 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Recently proposed pre-trained generation models achieve strong performance on single-document summarization benchmarks. However, most of them are pre-trained with general-purpose objectives and mainly aim to process single document inputs. In this paper, we propose PRIMER, …

Integrative Decoding: Improve Factuality via Implicit Self-consistency

2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Self-consistency-based approaches, which involve repeatedly sampling multiple outputs and selecting the most consistent one as the final response, prove to be remarkably effective in improving the factual accuracy of large language models. Nonetheless, existing methods …
