Analyzing the Impact of Length Penalty Variations

A language model is tasked with generating summaries of news articles. The generation process incorporates a mechanism that can penalize outputs based on their length. Analyze the distinct effects on the generated summaries if this mechanism is configured in two different ways:

  1. Applying a strong penalty for summaries shorter than a target length.
  2. Applying a strong penalty for summaries longer than a target length.

In your analysis, compare the likely characteristics of the summaries produced in each scenario, including potential benefits and drawbacks.
