Optimising Factual Consistency in Summarisation via Preference Learning from Multiple Imperfect Metrics
arXiv:2605.26840v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning with evaluation metrics as rewards is widely used to enhance specific capabilities of language models. However, for tasks such as factually consistent summarisation, existing metrics remain underdeveloped, limiting their effectiveness as signals for shaping model behaviour.While individual factuality metrics are unreliable, their combination can more effectively capture diverse factual errors. We leverage this insight to introduce an automated training pipeline that improves factual consistency in summaries by aggregating s
The proliferation of generative AI demands improved factual consistency, making advanced optimisation techniques crucial for widespread adoption and trust.
Improving factual accuracy in AI summaries through preference learning directly addresses a core limitation of current generative AI models, enhancing their reliability for critical applications.
The ability to train language models more effectively for factual consistency signals a step towards more trustworthy autonomous AI systems across various tasks.
