通过细粒度标注错误片段,让摘要模型更忠实于原文。
Enhancing Faithfulness in Abstractive Summarization via Span-Level Fine-Tuning
- 用GPT-4o标注摘要中的错误片段,构建细粒度数据集。
- 三种微调方法均提升忠实度,其中无似然训练效果最佳。
- 适合关注摘要真实性、需降低幻觉的研究者与应用开发者。
基于大语言模型的抽象式摘要已成为信息浓缩的关键工具。然而,尽管生成流畅,这些模型常在词、短语或概念层面引入幻觉。现有缓解策略如后处理修正或合成负样本对比学习,未能充分解决多样化的错误。本文研究微调策略以减少生成摘要中的不忠实片段。首先,用多种LLM自动生成训练集文档的摘要,再由GPT-4o标注其检测到的逐片段幻觉。利用这些标注,对LLM进行微调,同时输入无幻觉摘要和标注的不忠实片段。本文构建了一个包含忠实与不忠实摘要及细粒度标注的新数据集,并评估三种微调技术:梯度上升、无似然训练与任务向量否定。实验表明,所有方法均有效提升忠实度,其中无似然训练表现最优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Abstractive summarization using large language models (LLMs) has become an essential tool for condensing information. However, despite their ability to generate fluent summaries, these models sometimes produce unfaithful summaries, introducing hallucinations at the word, phrase, or concept level. Existing mitigation strategies, such as post-processing corrections or contrastive learning with synthetically generated negative samples, fail to fully address the diverse errors that can occur in LLM-generated summaries. In this paper, we investigate fine-tuning strategies to reduce the occurrence of unfaithful spans in generated summaries. First, we automatically generate summaries for the set of source documents in the training set with a variety of LLMs and then use GPT-4o to annotate any hallucinations it detects at the span-level. Leveraging these annotations, we fine-tune LLMs with both hallucination-free summaries and annotated unfaithful spans to enhance model faithfulness. In this paper, we introduce a new dataset that contains both faithful and unfaithful summaries with span-level labels and we evaluate three techniques to fine-tuning a LLM to improve the faithfulness of the resulting summarization: gradient ascent, unlikelihood training, and task vector negation. Experimental results show that all three approaches successfully leverage span-level annotations to improve faithfulness, with unlikelihood training being the most effective.
