What is a XL-Sum?

A dataset for evaluating an LLM's proficiency in summarizing text.

A dataset for evaluating an LLM's proficiency in summarizing text. XL-Sum provides entries in many languages. Each entry in the dataset contains: - Correct answer: False, because the target word has a different meaning in the two sentences. - An article, taken from the British Broadcasting Company (BBC). - A summary of the article, written by the article's author. Note that that summary can contain words or phrases not present in the article. For details, see XL-Sum: Large-Scale Multilingual Abstractive Summarization for 44 Languages.

Practitioners refer to xl-sum when building, training, or evaluating machine learning systems. It appears in research papers, product documentation, and technical discussions about AI capabilities and limitations.
