        abstract = {With the overwhelming amount of textual data generated daily, summarizing multiple documents efficiently has become more important than ever. This paper explores various multi-document summarization (MDS) techniques, comparing their strengths and weaknesses. We discuss both extractive and abstractive approaches, evaluate them using widely accepted metrics, and take a look at how recent advancements, especially transformer-based models, are changing the landscape. To make things clearer, we’ve also included graphical representations of how these techniques stack up against each other.},
