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. This can be useful for distilling long documents into the core pieces of information

The following resources exist:

Additional related resources include:

  • Utilities for working with Documents: Guides on how to use several of the utilities which will prove helpful for this task, including Text Splitters (for splitting up long documents).
  • CombineDocuments Chains: A conceptual overview of specific types of chains by which you can accomplish this task.
  • Data Augmented Generation: An overview of data augmented generation, which is the general concept of combining external data with LLMs (of which this is a subset).
