Despite the seeming success of contemporary grounded text generation systems, they often tend to generate factually inconsistent text with respect to their input. This phenomenon is emphasized in tasks like summarization, in which the generated summaries should be corroborated by their source article. In this work, we leverage recent progress on textual entailment models to directly address this problem for abstractive summarization systems. We use reinforcement learning with reference-free, textual entailment rewards to optimize for factual consistency and explore the ensuing trade-offs, as improved consistency may come at the cost of less informative or more extractive summaries. Our results, according to both automatic metrics and human evaluation, show that our method considerably improves the faithfulness, salience, and conciseness of the generated summaries.

    cs.CL 2023-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Chain-of-Verification reduces hallucinations in large language models by drafting responses, planning independent verification questions, answering them separately, and generating a final verified output.

  3. RLAIF vs. RLHF: Scaling Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback with AI Feedback

    cs.CL 2023-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    RLAIF matches RLHF on summarization and dialogue tasks, with a direct-RLAIF variant achieving superior results by using LLM rewards directly during training.
