textsum wiki

Welcome to the textsum wiki!

textsum is a utility package that allows you to use transformer-based summarization models on text documents of arbitrary length. The package includes a command-line interface (CLI), and a user interface demo using gradio.

It was originally built as an extension/generalization of the document summarization space on huggingface.

Contents

The wiki's purpose will be to include documentation on how to practically use transformer models for summarization, what the parameters do, and how to increase performance.

This is a WIP

Installation

The package can be installed using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/pszemraj/textsum.git
