# Text Summarization with Pretrained Encoders
This folder contains part of the code necessary to reproduce the results on abstractive summarization from the article [Text Summarization with Pretrained Encoders](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.08345.pdf) by [Yang Liu](https://nlp-yang.github.io/) and [Mirella Lapata](https://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mlap/). It can also be used to summarize any document.
The original code can be found on the Yang Liu's [github repository](https://github.com/nlpyang/PreSumm).
The model is loaded with the pre-trained weights for the abstractive summarization model trained on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset with an extractive and then abstractive tasks.
## Setup
```
git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers && cd transformers
pip install .
pip install nltk py-rouge
cd examples/seq2seq/bertabs
```
## Reproduce the authors' ROUGE score
To be able to reproduce the authors' results on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset you first need to download both CNN and Daily Mail datasets [from Kyunghyun Cho's website](https://cs.nyu.edu/~kcho/DMQA/) (the links next to "Stories") in the same folder. Then uncompress the archives by running:
```bash
tar -xvf cnn_stories.tgz && tar -xvf dailymail_stories.tgz
```
And move all the stories to the same folder. We will refer as `$DATA_PATH` the path to where you uncompressed both archive. Then run the following in the same folder as `run_summarization.py`:
```bash
python run_summarization.py \
--documents_dir $DATA_PATH \
--summaries_output_dir $SUMMARIES_PATH \ # optional
--no_cuda false \
--batch_size 4 \
--min_length 50 \
--max_length 200 \
--beam_size 5 \
--alpha 0.95 \
--block_trigram true \
--compute_rouge true
```
The scripts executes on GPU if one is available and if `no_cuda` is not set to `true`. Inference on multiple GPUs is not supported yet. The ROUGE scores will be displayed in the console at the end of evaluation and written in a `rouge_scores.txt` file. The script takes 30 hours to compute with a single Tesla V100 GPU and a batch size of 10 (300,000 texts to summarize).
## Summarize any text
Put the documents that you would like to summarize in a folder (the path to which is referred to as `$DATA_PATH` below) and run the following in the same folder as `run_summarization.py`:
```bash
python run_summarization.py \
--documents_dir $DATA_PATH \
--summaries_output_dir $SUMMARIES_PATH \ # optional
--no_cuda false \
--batch_size 4 \
--min_length 50 \
--max_length 200 \
--beam_size 5 \
--alpha 0.95 \
--block_trigram true \
```
You may want to play around with `min_length`, `max_length` and `alpha` to suit your use case. If you want to compute ROUGE on another dataset you will need to tweak the stories/summaries import in `utils_summarization.py` and tell it where to fetch the reference summaries.
