New benchmark and analysis reveal LLM cross-lingual summarization challenges

Researchers have introduced a new benchmark, MEA, for multi-target cross-lingual summarization (MTXLS) across 24 languages. Their analysis of large language models (LLMs) reveals that translation and summarization processes emerge jointly in later layers, rather than as separate stages. To improve MTXLS quality, they developed an inference-time method that uses hidden representations from English summarization to guide generation. AI

IMPACT Highlights limitations in LLM cross-lingual capabilities and proposes a method to improve performance.

    Understanding LLM Behavior in Multi-Target Cross-Lingual Summarization

    arXiv:2606.01252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-target cross-lingual text summarization (MTXLS), which summarizes a source document into multiple target languages, is increasingly important as users consume content in diverse languages, but remains underexplored. To addre…
