Summarization involves creating a smaller summary of multiple longer documents.
|
|
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)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following resources exist:
|
|
- [Summarization Notebook](../modules/chains/index_examples/summarize.ipynb): A notebook walking through how to accomplish this task.
|
|
|
|
Additional related resources include:
|
|
- [Utilities for working with Documents](../reference/utils.rst): Guides on how to use several of the utilities which will prove helpful for this task, including Text Splitters (for splitting up long documents).
