Abstract

Metadata-conditioned generation is often framed as a data-to-text task in which additional input fields should improve grounding. Museum description generation challenges this assumption because catalogue records are heterogeneous, partially visual, and unevenly documented across geographic regions. We study how metadata composition shapes the generation of artefact descriptions through a two-phase framework. Phase 1 analyses natural metadata variation in a large museum collection, where field count, field type, image availability, and Place co-vary. Phase 2 introduces controlled field probes that hold object identity fixed while varying metadata quantity, field type, and image access. Our results show that metadata quantity alone does not explain generation behaviour. Field type determines whether models ground, omit, or infer information, while images can both support visual grounding and increase unsupported interpretation. More broadly, our findings show that metadata-conditioned data-to-text evaluation should assess field- and claim-level support, rather than relying only on aggregate input coverage or reference similarity.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.

Based on abstract + metadata only. Check the source paper before making high-confidence protocol decisions.

Key takeaways

  • Metadata-conditioned generation is often framed as a data-to-text task in which additional input fields should improve grounding.
  • Museum description generation challenges this assumption because catalogue records are heterogeneous, partially visual, and unevenly documented across geographic regions.
  • We study how metadata composition shapes the generation of artefact descriptions through a two-phase framework.

Researcher actions

  • Compare this paper against nearby papers in the same arXiv category before using it for protocol decisions.
  • Check the full text for explicit evaluation design choices (raters, protocol, and metrics).
  • Use related-paper links to find stronger protocol-specific references.

Caveats

  • Generated from abstract + metadata only; no PDF parsing.
  • Signals below are heuristic and may miss details reported outside the abstract.
