Faithful by Construction: Claim-Anchored Attribution for Multi-Document Summarization

  • 用原子化主张+细粒度溯源构建可验证的摘要框架
  • 多源事实冲突自动标记,支持度感知选择提升可信度
  • 适合需要高可信度、可审计摘要的场景

端到端大语言模型生成流畅的多文档摘要,但易产生幻觉,且引用通常粗粒度(整篇或段落)且为事后生成,导致摘要内容难以验证。本文重新审视提取-选择-重写范式,将中间表示作为归因单元,提出CAMS框架:(i) 从每份源文档中提取带词级溯源的原子主张;(ii) 跨文档聚类等价主张并标记跨源冲突;(iii) 选择支持感知且显著的子集;(iv) 将选择结果重写为摘要,每句均锚定至经验证的主张,并回溯至一个或多个源文本片段。由于内容在生成前即被定位,该流程天然具备归因性与忠实性:结构上保留细粒度、多源可追溯性,同时通过支持感知选择、约束重写和验证机制促进而非保证事实忠实性。我们在MultiNews上评估质量、忠实度与定位性,在DiverseSumm上分析冲突处理,在WCEP上测试零样本迁移,采用双模式协议分离无参考引文质量与黄金对齐定位精度,并引入评价器解耦的审计,使用未参与选择或验证的支持模型测试引文精确率。CAMS在摘要质量上媲美强基准,大幅提升忠实度与引文精确率,多源归因准确率提升约三分之二,揭示了端到端模型隐含的忠实性-覆盖率权衡。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

End-to-end large language models (LLMs) produce fluent multi-document summaries but remain prone to hallucination, and the attributions they offer are typically coarse (whole documents or passages) and generated post hoc, leaving each summary statement hard to verify. We revisit the modular Extract--Select--Rewrite paradigm and recast its intermediate representation as the unit of attribution. We present CAMS, a Claim-Anchored Multi-document Summarization framework that (i) extracts atomic claims with token-level provenance from every source document, (ii) clusters equivalent claims across documents while flagging inter-source conflicts, (iii) selects a support-aware and salient subset, and (iv) rewrites the selection into a summary in which every sentence is anchored to a support-checked claim that links back to one or more source spans. Because content is localized before it is realized, the pipeline is attribution-oriented by construction and faithfulness-oriented by construction: it structurally preserves fine-grained, multi-source traceability while using support-aware selection, constrained rewriting, and verification to encourage, rather than guarantee, factual faithfulness. We evaluate quality, faithfulness, and localization on MultiNews, analyze conflict handling on DiverseSumm, and test zero-shot transfer on WCEP, using a two-regime protocol that separates reference-free citation quality from gold-aligned localization accuracy, and we add an evaluator-decoupled audit that tests citation precision with a support model never used for selection or verification. CAMS matches strong end-to-end and span-attribution baselines on summary quality while substantially improving faithfulness and citation precision, lifting multi-source attribution accuracy by roughly two-thirds, and exposing a controllable faithfulness--coverage trade-off that end-to-end models leave implicit.
