Docs refactor (#480)
Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find
resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three
main sections:
- Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core
functionality
- Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain
provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key
concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it
didnt easily fit).
- Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question
answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different
entry point to the code base.
There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources
(glossary, gallery, etc)

# Summarization
Summarization involves creating a smaller summary of multiple longer documents.
2023-01-09 03:20:13 +00:00
This can be useful for distilling long documents into the core pieces of information.
The recommended way to get started using a summarization chain is:
```python
from langchain.chains.summarize import load_summarize_chain
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce")
chain.run(docs)
```
