Cross-Lingual Query-Based Summarization of Crisis-Related Social Media: An Abstractive Approach Using TransformersRelevant and timely information collected from social media during crises can be an invaluable resource for emergency management. However, extracting this information remains a challenging task, particularly when dealing with social media postings in multiple languages. This work proposes a cross-lingual method for retrieving and summarizing crisis-relevant information from social media postings. We describe a uniform way of expressing various information needs through structured queries and a way of creating summaries answering those information needs. The method is based on multilingual transformers embeddings. Queries are written in one of the languages supported by the embeddings, and th
