Foreword: This research was done in two parts, gathering the data and running transformer models,
namely distilBART and bert2bert. Below is the step-by-step process of the experientaton of the study:
📚 Steps
📝 Gathering the data
🔧 Initializing the transfomer models; fine-tuning of the models:
-- via Google Colab
-- via Google Colab (Local runtime)
-- via Jupyter Notebook
📝 Gathering data
An article scraper was used in this experimentation which can gather bodies of text from various news sites. The data gathered was used to pre-train and finetune the models in the next step. This also includes instructions on how to use the article scraper.
🔧 Initialization of transformer models
via Google Colab
Two models, distilBART and bert2bert were used to compar abstractive text summarization performance. They can be found here:
