Title:MASF: A Multi-Model Adaptive Selection Framework for Abstractive Text summarization

Abstract:Automatic text summarization has become increasingly important due to the rapid growth of digital textual information. This paper presents a Multi-Model Adaptive Summarization Framework designed to improve the robustness and quality of abstractive text summarization. Relying on a single model often leads to inconsistent summarization quality across articles with varying structures and topics. To address this limitation, the proposed framework integrates multiple fine-tuned transformer-based summarization models and introduces an adaptive selection mechanism. In this framework, each model independently generates a candidate summary for the same input article. The generated summaries are then evaluated using automatic evaluation metrics that capture both lexical similarity and semantic relevance. Based on these scores, the framework selects the highest-quality summary as the final output. The models are fine-tuned and evaluated on the widely used CNN/DailyMail news summarization dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves the highest BERTScore among all compared methods with a score of 88.63%. It also outperforms several LLMs such as GPT3-D2, Falcon-7b, and Mpt-7b, highlighting its effectiveness and robustness. These findings highlight the effectiveness of leveraging multiple transformer-based models within an adaptive selection strategy to improve the quality and robustness of automatic text summarization systems.
