Benchmarking Large Language Models for News Summarization
read the original abstract
Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise for automatic summarization but the reasons behind their successes are poorly understood. By conducting a human evaluation on ten LLMs across different pretraining methods, prompts, and model scales, we make two important observations. First, we find instruction tuning, and not model size, is the key to the LLM's zero-shot summarization capability. Second, existing studies have been limited by low-quality references, leading to underestimates of human performance and lower few-shot and finetuning performance. To better evaluate LLMs, we perform human evaluation over high-quality summaries we collect from freelance writers. Despite major stylistic differences such as the amount of paraphrasing, we find that LMM summaries are judged to be on par with human written summaries.

A Tree-of-Thoughts Inspired Hybrid Approach for Legal Case Judgement Summarization using LLMs
A tree-of-thoughts inspired hybrid extractive-abstractive LLM prompt yields better legal case judgment summaries than standard extractive or abstractive prompts.
