Text summarization is a powerful technique that condenses information from various sources into a concise summary, enhancing reader comprehension and efficiency. In this blog, we will walk through implementing text summarization models on Google Colab using multiple abstractive approaches. This allows for smooth execution without the need for powerful local machines. Let’s dive in!

Understanding the Models

This repo encompasses implementations for various languages including Hindi, Amharic, English, and soon Arabic! We will explore three main implementations:

• Implementation A: Seq2seq with attention using Bidirectional LSTM.
• Implementation B: Seq2seq with a pointer generator model.
• Implementation C: Seq2seq with reinforcement learning.

Setting Up Google Colab

Using Google Colab is as simple as logging into your Google account. Here’s how to get started:

1. Open Google Colab.
2. Create a new notebook.
3. Link your Google Drive for storage.

It’s important to note that you don’t need to download large datasets locally. Everything runs through Google Drive!

Implementing the Models

Here’s a brief analogy to explain the implementations:

Imagine making a delicious sandwich. Each model is like a different recipe:

• Model A: This is your classic sandwich with layers of ingredients stacked neatly (Seq2seq with attention). It gives you a well-balanced taste.
• Model B: This is like your pointed knife; it cuts through to get just the right ingredients (Pointer generator model), ensuring you summarize accurately.
• Model C: This is an expert chef (Reinforcement Learning) training to make the perfect sandwich based on feedback—constantly improving!

Code Implementation

Here’s a simplified version of how to implement these models:

# Sample code snippet for Implementation A
import tensorflow as tf

def create_model():
    # Build your Seq2seq model here using LSTM and Attention
    pass

# Training the model
model = create_model()
model.fit(data)

Make sure you adjust the parameters according to your dataset and requirements.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, consider these common solutions:

• Check the compatibility of your libraries. Ensure TensorFlow and other dependencies are up to date.
• If your model crashes, verify your dataset for corrupt entries.
• For runtime issues, try restarting your Colab runtime or clearing the output.
