summarizers

• summarizers is package for controllable summarization based on CTRLsum.
• currently, we only supports English. It doesn't work in other languages.
  
  

Installation

pip install summarizers

Usage

1. Create Summarizers

• First at all, create summarizers obejct to summarize your own article.

  >>> from summarizers import Summarizers
  >>> summ = Summarizers()

• You can select type of source article between [normal, paper, patent].
• If you don't input any parameter, default type is normal.

  >>> from summarizers import Summarizers
  >>> summ = Summarizers('normal')  # <-- default.
  >>> summ = Summarizers('paper')
  >>> summ = Summarizers('patent')

• If you want GPU acceleration, set param device='cuda'.

  >>> from summarizers import Summarizers
  >>> summ = Summarizers('normal', device='cuda')

  
  

2. Basic Summarization

• If you inputted source article, basic summariztion is conducted.

  >>> contents = """
  Tunip is the Octonauts' head cook and gardener. 
  He is a Vegimal, a half-animal, half-vegetable creature capable of breathing on land as well as underwater. 
  Tunip is very childish and innocent, always wanting to help the Octonauts in any way he can. 
  He is the smallest main character in the Octonauts crew.
  """

  >>> summ(contents)
  'Tunip is a Vegimal, a half-animal, half-vegetable creature'

  
  

3. Query focused Summarization

• If you want to input query together, Query focused summarization conducted.

  >>> summ(contents, query="main character of Octonauts")
  'Tunip is the smallest main character in the Octonauts crew.'

  
  

3. Abstractive QA (Auto Question Detection)

• If you inputted question as query, Abstractive QA is conducted.

  >>> summ(contents, query="What is Vegimal?")
  'Half-animal, half-vegetable'

• You can turn off this feature by setting param question_detection=False.

  >>> summ(contents, query="SOME_QUERY", question_detection=False)

  
  

4. Prompt based Summarization

• You can generate summary that begins with some sequence using param prompt.
• It works like GPT-3's Prompt based generation. (but It doesn't work very well.)

  >>> summ(contents, prompt="Q:Who is Tunip? A:")
  "Q:Who is Tunip? A: Tunip is the Octonauts' head"

  
  

5. Query focused Summarization with Prompt

• You can also input both query and prompt.
• In this case, a query focus summary is generated that starts with a prompt.

  >>> summ(contents, query="personality of Tunip", prompt="Tunip is very")
  "Tunip is very childish and innocent, always wanting to help the Octonauts."

  
  

6. Options for Decoding Strategy

• For generative models, decoding strategy is very important.
• summarizers support variety of options for decoding strategy.

  
  >>> summ(
  ...     contents=contents,
  ...     num_beams=10,
  ...     top_k=30,
  ...     top_p=0.85,
  ...     no_repeat_ngram_size=3,      
  ...     length_penalty=1.2,
  ... )
