Counterfactual Data Augmentation improves Factuality of Abstractive Summarization
Abstractive summarization systems based on pretrained language models often generate coherent but factually inconsistent sentences. In this paper, we present a counterfactual data augmentation approach where we augment data with perturbed summaries that increase the training data diversity. Specifically, we present three augmentation approaches based on replacing (i) entities from other and the same category and (ii) nouns with their corresponding WordNet hypernyms. We show that augmenting the training data with our approach improves the factual correctness of summaries without significantly affecting the ROUGE score. We show that in two commonly used summarization datasets (CNN/Dailymail and XSum), we improve the factual correctness by about 2.5 points on average

Evaluating the Tradeoff Between Abstractiveness and Factuality in Abstractive Summarization
Neural models for abstractive summarization tend to generate output that is fluent and well-formed but lacks semantic faithfulness, or factuality, with respect to the input documents. In this paper, we analyze the tradeo…
Abstractive Text SummarizationHallucinated but Factual! Inspecting the Factuality of Hallucinations in Abstractive Summarization
State-of-the-art abstractive summarization systems often generate \emph{hallucinations}; i.e., content that is not directly inferable from the source text. Despite being assumed incorrect, we find that much hallucinated …

We present FactPEGASUS, an abstractive summarization model that addresses the problem of factuality during pre-training and fine-tuning: (1) We augment the sentence selection strategy of PEGASUS's (Zhang et al., 2020) pr…
