Introduction to Text Generation and Summarization

Text generation means creating text that makes sense based on a given starting point. Summarization means making a long text shorter while keeping the main ideas. We use Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3, BERT, or T5 for these tasks.

Setting Up the Environment

We will use Python and the Hugging Face transformers library for both tasks.

Steps:

1. Install Required Libraries:Open your terminal and run:bashCopy codepip install transformers
2. Import Necessary Modules: from transformers import pipeline

Implementing Text Generation

We will use a pre-trained GPT-2 model to create text.

Example: Text Generation

Code Example:

Create a script for text generation:

from transformers import pipeline

# Initialize the text generation pipeline
generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='gpt2')

# Define a prompt
prompt = "Once upon a time in a land far, far away,"

# Generate text
generated_text = generator(prompt, max_length=100, num_return_sequences=1)

# Print the generated text
print(generated_text[0]['generated_text'])

Output:

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was a kingdom ruled by a wise and kind king. The kingdom was known for its beautiful landscapes, rich culture, and happy citizens. One day, a mysterious traveler arrived at the gates of the kingdom, bringing news of a great adventure...

Implementing Summarization

We will use a pre-trained BART model to summarize text.

Example: Summarization

Code Example:

Create a script for summarization:

from transformers import pipeline

# Initialize the summarization pipeline
summarizer = pipeline('summarization', model='facebook/bart-large-cnn')

# Define a long text
text = """The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox is a popular example sentence in English. It is used to demonstrate the fonts and keyboard layouts, as it contains all the letters of the English alphabet. This sentence has been used by typists, graphic designers, and computer users for decades. It is known for its brevity and comprehensiveness. The quick brown fox is not just a simple sentence, it is a staple in the world of typography and computing."""

# Summarize the text
summary = summarizer(text, max_length=50, min_length=25, do_sample=False)

# Print the summary
print(summary[0]['summary_text'])

Output:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is a popular example sentence in English, used to demonstrate fonts and keyboard layouts. It is known for its brevity and comprehensiveness.

Combining Text Generation and Summarization

You can make an application that both generates and summarizes text based on user input.

Example: Combined Text Generation and Summarization

Code Example:

Create a combined script:

from transformers import pipeline

# Initialize the pipelines
generator = pipeline('text-generation', model='gpt2')
summarizer = pipeline('summarization', model='facebook/bart-large-cnn')

# Define a prompt for text generation
prompt = "In the future, AI will revolutionize the way we live and work. It will bring about"

# Generate text
generated_text = generator(prompt, max_length=150, num_return_sequences=1)[0]['generated_text']

# Summarize the generated text
summary = summarizer(generated_text, max_length=50, min_length=25, do_sample=False)[0]['summary_text']

# Print the results
print("Generated Text:\n", generated_text)
print("\nSummary:\n", summary)

Output:

Generated Text:

In the future, AI will revolutionize the way we live and work. It will bring about unprecedented levels of efficiency and productivity, allowing humans to focus on more creative and meaningful tasks. AI will be integrated into every aspect of our lives, from healthcare to transportation, making everything faster and more convenient. However, this technological advancement will also pose significant challenges, such as ensuring data privacy and addressing ethical concerns. As AI continues to evolve, it will be crucial to strike a balance between innovation and responsibility to harness its full potential for the benefit of society.

Summary:

AI will revolutionize the way we live and work, bringing unprecedented efficiency and productivity. It will integrate into every aspect of our lives, making everything faster and more convenient. However, this will pose challenges, such as ensuring data privacy and addressing ethical concerns.
