Abstractive Summarization by BART - DistilBART CNN

Description

“BART: Denoising Sequence-to-Sequence Pre-training for Natural Language Generation, Translation, and Comprehension Transformer” The Facebook BART (Bidirectional and Auto-Regressive Transformer) model is a state-of-the-art language generation model that was introduced by Facebook AI in 2019. It is based on the transformer architecture and is designed to handle a wide range of natural language processing tasks such as text generation, summarization, and machine translation.

This pre-trained model is DistilBART fine-tuned on the Extreme Summarization (CNN) Dataset.
