This model is a fine-tuned checkpoint of facebook/m2m100_418M on the Multilingual large summarization dataset focused on Czech texts to produce multilingual summaries.

Task

The model deals with a multi-sentence summary in eight different languages. With the idea of adding other foreign language documents, and by having a considerable amount of Czech documents, we aimed to improve model summarization in the Czech language. Supported languages: ''cs', 'en', 'de', 'es', 'fr', 'ru', 'tu', 'zh'
