Abstract:Although large language models (LLMs) have shown promising potential in news summarization tasks, their performance on long-document summarization remains challenging as their length often exceeds the input limits. As the agent investment, which provide possibility to improve the inherent capabilities of LLMs. To enhance the effectiveness of long-document summarization based on LLMs, this paper proposes an expert-editor stepwise questioning multi-agent method, in which the expert and the editor guide another agent to refine the summary by posing questions on different aspects of the content and providing targeted clues for revision. We conducted experiments on two representative long-document scientific datasets and evaluated the results through widely recognized automatic metrics. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of our method.
