Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments described herein provide a task-targeted training paradigm which involves reformulating the pretraining objective to match the downstream task, e.g., query-focused summarization with or without guidance, without additional supervision. specifically, query-focused summarization is foremost a task in which information is selected and compressed. a training objective is computed based on asking questions about sentences considered to be informative about the text that naturally incorporates a form of guidance of the generation process.
