# SEA Abstractive Summarization

SEA Abstractive Summarization evaluates a model's ability to read a document, identify the key points within, and summarize them into a coherent and fluent text while paraphrasing the document. It is sampled from [IndoNLI](https://aclanthology.org/2021.emnlp-main.821) for Indonesian, [IndicXNLI](https://aclanthology.org/2022.emnlp-main.755/) for Tamil, and [XNLI](https://aclanthology.org/D18-1269/) for Thai and Vietnamese.

### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

SEA Abstractive Summarization is designed for evaluating chat or instruction-tuned large language models (LLMs). It is part of the [SEA-HELM](https://leaderboard.sea-lion.ai/) leaderboard from [AI Singapore](https://aisingapore.org/).

### Languages
- Indonesian (id)
- Tamil (ta)
- Thai (th)
- Vietnamese (vi)

### Dataset Details
SEA Abstractive Summarization is split by language, with additional splits containing fewshot examples. Below are the statistics for this dataset. The number of tokens only refer to the strings of text found within the `prompts` column.
