In this guide, we will walk you through the process of generating abstractive summaries using the Multi-document Extractive Summarization (MDAS) model specifically for the Portuguese language, PLSUM. Our goal is to convert extracted sentences into informative Wikipedia-like summaries. Let’s whisk this recipe together smoothly!

Understanding the Process

Think of creating a summary like preparing a delicious dish, where you gather your ingredients (in this case, sentences from various sources) to make something delightful that informs and educates. Just as a chef combines the right ingredients to craft a fine dessert, we will combine extracted sentences to create succinct and meaningful summaries.

Ingredients for Summary Creation

• Query: The subject title of your summary.
• Sentences: A list of relevant sentences extracted via methods such as TF-IDF or Textrank from multiple documents.
• Tokenizer and Model: Use T5TokenizerFast and T5ForConditionalGeneration from the Hugging Face model repository.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare Your Query: Start by defining the topic you want to summarize. For example, let’s say we are summarizing “torta de limão”.
2. Extract Relevant Sentences: Gather sentences related to your topic from multiple documents. For our pie example, sentences might include details about ingredients, preparation methods, historical context, and more.
3. Format Input Text: Construct the input text to be processed by the model. This combines the query and the joined list of sentences as follows:

input_text = summarize: .format(query) + sentences.join(s)

4. Tokenization: Convert your input text into tokens using the tokenizer:

x = tokenizer([input_text], padding=max_length, max_length=512, return_tensors=pt, truncation=True)

5. Generate the Summary: Feed the tokenized input to the model to produce the summary:

y = model.generate(**x)

6. Decode and Display: Finally, decode the generated output to retrieve the summary text.

print(tokenizer.batch_decode(y, skip_special_tokens=True))

Example Output

The output would provide a concise Wikipedia-like summary of your topic. For instance: “A torta de limão é um doce feito com a fruta limão, que é uma mistura de farinha de trigo, sal, açúcar, manteiga derretida, gema e água.” It captures the essence beautifully, just like a well-made dessert!

Troubleshooting Common Issues

As you venture into summary creation, you might encounter a few bumps along the way:

• Lengthy Inputs: If your input exceeds the token limit, consider shortening your sentences or selecting the most relevant ones.
• Incoherent Outputs: Make sure the extracted sentences are coherent and clearly related to the topic. A good recipe requires high-quality ingredients!
• Model Not Loading: Ensure you have all the dependencies installed correctly and that you’re using the right model identifiers.
