- We show that our content selection method increases textual entailment by +26%, and improves summary quality by up to +5.56 ROUGE-1.
- We offer a detailed qualitative analysis of failure cases and hallucination sources, laying the groundwork for future improvements. (4/5)

π Our contributions:
We introduce a content selection pipeline that identifies salient legal information prior to summarisation, improving both the faithfulness and quality of summaries. (3/5)

π’ Our new paper has landed at the Conference on AI and Law, ICAIL 2025!
In this work, we address two key challenges in applying abstractive summarisation to legal case documents:
βοΈ Hallucinations in generated summaries
βοΈThe extreme length of multi-document inputs
