(at least in the fast-paced machine learning universe) But, it has been on top of the abstractive summarization leaderboard that I follow for nine months, which is impressive by the same machine learning universe standards! They used a combination of the Contrastive Learning approach and a two-stage architecture to improve the performance of models like BART [2] and PEGASUS [3] by 2.5 points (R-1 score).
