  # Model Details
  
  
  ## Model Description
   
  Abstractive summarization models are commonly trained using maximum likelihood estimation, which assumes a deterministic (one-point) target distribution in which an ideal model will assign all the probability mass to the reference summary. This assumption may lead to performance degradation during inference, where the model needs to compare several system-generated (candidate) summaries that have deviated from the reference summary. To address this problem, we propose a novel training paradigm which assumes a non-deterministic distribution so that different candidate summaries are assigned probability mass according to their quality.

  # Uses
   
  
  ## Direct Use
  This model can be used for the task of Text2Text Generation
   
  ## Downstream Use [Optional]
   
  Further analysis also shows that our model can estimate probabilities of candidate summaries that are more correlated with their level of quality.
   
  
  
   
  ## Out-of-Scope Use
   
  The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people. 
   
  # Bias, Risks, and Limitations
   
   
  Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)). Predictions generated by the model may include disturbing and harmful stereotypes across protected classes; identity characteristics; and sensitive, social, and occupational groups.
  
  
  
  ## Recommendations
   
   
  Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.

  ## Training Data
   
  The model creators note in the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.16804):
  > CNNDM4: is a large scale news dataset.
  Nallapati et al: we treat the news articles as the source documents and the associated highlights as the summaries. 
  XSum5: is a highly abstractive dataset of articles from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). NYT6: contains articles from the New York Times and the associated summaries
   
   
   
  ## Training Procedure

  # Model Examination
   
  The model creators note in the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.16804):
  > We attribute BRIO-Ctr’s superior performance to its use of the same model architecture (BART) for both candidate generation and scoring, while SimCLS uses RoBERTa as the evaluation model. As a result, BRIO-Ctr maximizes the parameter sharing between the two stages, and preserves the power of the Seq2Seq model pre-trained on the same dataset.
