In recent years, there has been a tremendous improvement in the field of natural language processing (NLP) with the introduction of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-3, BERT, and T5. These models have revolutionized various NLP tasks, including text summarization and abstraction.<\/p>\n

Text summarization is the process of condensing a long document into a concise summary, capturing the essential information. On the other hand, text abstraction aims to generate a summary by incorporating new information and rephrasing the original text.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use LLMs for text summarization and abstraction using the Hugging Face Transformers library in Python. We will walk through the steps of preprocessing the data, fine-tuning the LLM on a summarization dataset, and generating summaries and abstractions from new text inputs.<\/p>\n
