- text: large earthquakes along a given fault segment do not occur at random intervals
    because it takes time to accumulate the strain energy for the rupture. The rates
    at which tectonic plates move and accumulate strain at their boundaries are approximately
    uniform. Therefore, in first approximation, one may expect that large ruptures
    of the same fault segment will occur at approximately constant time intervals.
    If subsequent main shocks have different amounts of slip across the fault, then
    the recurrence time may vary, and the basic idea of periodic mainshocks must be
    modified. For great plate boundary ruptures the length and slip often vary by
    a factor of 2. Along the southern segment of the San Andreas fault the recurrence
    interval is 145 years with variations of several decades. The smaller the standard
    deviation of the average recurrence interval, the more specific could be the long
    term prediction of a future mainshock.

    \ (Section 6). Collectively, these classes constitute a 'toolbox' of techniques\
    \ to help solve problems with neural fields There are three components in a conditional\

    \ O: argmaxz P(2/0). The decoder maximizes the inverse conditional probability\
    \ to find the most probable 0 given Z: arg- max P(Olz). We discuss different encoding\
    \ schemes with different optimality guarantees (Section 2.1.1), both global and\
    \ local conditioning (Section 2.1.2), and different mapping functions Y (Section\
    \ 2.1.3) 2. Generalization Suppose we wish to estimate a plausible 3D surface\
    \ shape given a partial or noisy point cloud. We need a suitable prior over the\
    \ sur- face in its reconstruction domain to generalize to the partial observations.\
    \ A neural network expresses a prior via the function space of its architecture\
    \ and parameters 0, and generalization is influenced by the inductive bias of\
    \ this function space (Section 5)."

- text: ' the big variety of data coming from diverse sources is one of the key properties
    of the big data phenomenon. It is, therefore, beneficial to understand how data
    is generated in various environments and scenarios, before looking at what should
    be done with this data and how to design the best possible architecture to accomplish
    this The evolution of IT architectures, described in Chapter 2, means that the
    data is no longer processed by a few big monolith systems, but rather by a group
    of services In parallel to the processing layer, the underlying data storage has
    also changed and became more distributed This, in turn, required a significant
    paradigm shift as the traditional approach to transactions (ACID) could no longer
    be supported. On top of this, cloud computing is becoming a major approach with
    the benefits of reducing costs and providing on-demand scalability but at the
    same time introducing concerns about privacy, data ownership, etc In the meantime
    the Internet continues its exponential growth: Every day both structured and unstructured
    data is published and available for processing: To achieve competitive advantage
    companies have to relate their corporate resources to external services, e.g.
    financial markets, weather forecasts, social media, etc While several of the sites
    provide some sort of API to access the data in a more orderly fashion; countless
    sources require advanced web mining and Natural Language Processing (NLP) processing
    techniques: Advances in science push researchers to construct new instruments
    for observing the universe O conducting experiments to understand even better
    the laws of physics and other domains. Every year humans have at their disposal
    new telescopes, space probes, particle accelerators, etc These instruments generate
    huge streams of data, which need to be stored and analyzed. The constant drive
    for efficiency in the industry motivates the introduction of new automation techniques
    and process optimization: This could not be done without analyzing the precise
    data that describe these processes. As more and more human tasks are automated,
    machines provide rich data sets, which can be analyzed in real-time to drive efficiency
    to new levels. Finally, it is now evident that the growth of the Internet of Things
    is becoming a major source of data. More and more of the devices are equipped
    with significant computational power and can generate a continuous data stream
    from their sensors. In the subsequent sections of this chapter, we will look at
    the domains described above to see what they generate in terms of data sets. We
    will compare the volumes but will also look at what is characteristic and important
    from their respective points of view. 3.1 The Internet is undoubtedly the largest
    database ever created by humans. While several well described; cleaned, and structured
    data sets have been made available through this medium, most of the resources
    are of an ambiguous, unstructured, incomplete or even erroneous nature. Still,
    several examples in the areas such as opinion mining, social media analysis, e-governance,
    etc, clearly show the potential lying in these resources. Those who can successfully
    mine and interpret the Internet data can gain unique insight and competitive advantage
    in their business An important area of data analytics on the edge of corporate
    IT and the Internet is Web Analytics.'

- text: "Transformer-based models have shown to be very useful for many NLP tasks.\
    \ However, a major limitation of transformers-based models is its O(n^2)O(n 2)\
    \ time & memory complexity (where nn is sequence length). Hence, it's computationally\
    \ very expensive to apply transformer-based models on long sequences n > 512n>512.\
    \ Several recent papers, e.g. Longformer, Performer, Reformer, Clustered attention\
    \ try to remedy this problem by approximating the full attention matrix. You can\
    \ checkout \U0001F917's recent blog post in case you are unfamiliar with these\
    \ models.\nBigBird (introduced in paper) is one of such recent models to address\
    \ this issue. BigBird relies on block sparse attention instead of normal attention\
    \ (i.e. BERT's attention) and can handle sequences up to a length of 4096 at a\
    \ much lower computational cost compared to BERT. It has achieved SOTA on various\
    \ tasks involving very long sequences such as long documents summarization, question-answering\
    \ with long contexts.\nBigBird RoBERTa-like model is now available in \U0001F917\
    Transformers. The goal of this post is to give the reader an in-depth understanding\
    \ of big bird implementation & ease one's life in using BigBird with \U0001F917\
    Transformers. But, before going into more depth, it is important to remember that\
    \ the BigBird's attention is an approximation of BERT's full attention and therefore\
    \ does not strive to be better than BERT's full attention, but rather to be more\
    \ efficient. It simply allows to apply transformer-based models to much longer\
    \ sequences since BERT's quadratic memory requirement quickly becomes unbearable.\
    \ Simply put, if we would have \u221E compute & \u221E time, BERT's attention\
    \ would be preferred over block sparse attention (which we are going to discuss\
    \ in this post).\nIf you wonder why we need more compute when working with longer\
    \ sequences, this blog post is just right for you!\nSome of the main questions\
    \ one might have when working with standard BERT-like attention include:\nDo all\
    \ tokens really have to attend to all other tokens? Why not compute attention\
    \ only over important tokens? How to decide what tokens are important? How to\
    \ attend to just a few tokens in a very efficient way? In this blog post, we will\
    \ try to answer those questions.\nWhat tokens should be attended to? We will give\
    \ a practical example of how attention works by considering the sentence 'BigBird\
    \ is now available in HuggingFace for extractive question answering'. In BERT-like\
    \ attention, every word would simply attend to all other tokens.\nLet's think\
    \ about a sensible choice of key tokens that a queried token actually only should\
    \ attend to by writing some pseudo-code. Will will assume that the token available\
    \ is queried and build a sensible list of key tokens to attend to.\n>>> # let's\
    \ consider following sentence as an example >>> example = ['BigBird', 'is', 'now',\
    \ 'available', 'in', 'HuggingFace', 'for', 'extractive', 'question', 'answering']\n\
    >>> # further let's assume, we're trying to understand the representation of 'available'\
    \ i.e. >>> query_token = 'available' >>> # We will initialize an empty `set` and\
    \ fill up the tokens of our interest as we proceed in this section. >>> key_tokens\
    \ = [] # => currently 'available' token doesn't have anything to attend Nearby\
    \ tokens should be important because, in a sentence (sequence of words), the current\
    \ word is highly dependent on neighboring past & future tokens. This intuition\
    \ is the idea behind the concept of sliding attention."

- text: 'The majority of available text summarization datasets include short-form
    source documents that lack long-range causal and temporal dependencies, and often
    contain strong layout and stylistic biases. While relevant, such datasets will
    offer limited challenges for future generations of text summarization systems.
    We address these issues by introducing BookSum, a collection of datasets for long-form
    narrative summarization. Our dataset covers source documents from the literature
    domain, such as novels, plays and stories, and includes highly abstractive, human
    written summaries on three levels of granularity of increasing difficulty: paragraph-,
    chapter-, and book-level. The domain and structure of our dataset poses a unique
    set of challenges for summarization systems, which include: processing very long
    documents, non-trivial causal and temporal dependencies, and rich discourse structures.
    To facilitate future work, we trained and evaluated multiple extractive and abstractive
    summarization models as baselines for our dataset.'

# Longformer Encoder-Decoder (LED) for Narrative-Esque Long Text Summarization

- **What:** This is the (current) result of the quest for a summarization model that condenses technical/long information down well _in general, academic and narrative usage
- **Use cases:** long narrative summarization (think stories - as the dataset intended), article/paper/textbook/other summarization, technical:simple summarization. 
  - Models trained on this dataset tend to also _explain_ what they are summarizing, which IMO is awesome.

- works well on lots of text, and can hand 16384 tokens/batch.

## About

- Trained for 16 epochs vs. [`pszemraj/led-base-16384-finetuned-booksum`](https://huggingface.co/pszemraj/led-base-16384-finetuned-booksum), 

  - parameters adjusted for _very_ fine-tuning type training (super low LR, etc)
  - all the parameters for generation on the API are the same for easy comparison between versions.
  
## Other Checkpoints on Booksum

- See [led-large-book-summary](https://huggingface.co/pszemraj/led-large-book-summary) for LED-large trained on the same dataset.

# Usage - Basics

- it is recommended to use `encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size=3` when calling the pipeline object to improve summary quality.
  - this param forces the model to use new vocabulary and create an abstractive summary otherwise it may l compile the best _extractive_ summary from the input provided.
- create the pipeline object:

```python

import torch
from transformers import pipeline

hf_name = 'pszemraj/led-base-book-summary'

summarizer = pipeline(
    "summarization",
    hf_name,
    device=0 if torch.cuda.is_available() else -1,
)
```

- put words into the pipeline object:

```python
wall_of_text = "your words here"

result = summarizer(
           wall_of_text,
           min_length=8, 
           max_length=256,
           no_repeat_ngram_size=3, 
           encoder_no_repeat_ngram_size=3,
           repetition_penalty=3.5,
           num_beams=4,
           do_sample=False,
           early_stopping=True,
    )
print(result[0]['generated_text'])
```
