# T5 for Automatic Podcast Summarisation
This model is the result of fine-tuning [t5-base](https://huggingface.co/t5-base) on the [Spotify Podcast Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.04270).
It is based on [Google's T5](https://ai.googleblog.com/2020/02/exploring-transfer-learning-with-t5.html) which was pretrained on the [C4 dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/c4).

## Intended uses & limitations
This model is intended to be used for automatic podcast summarisation. As creator provided descriptions
were used for training, the model also learned to generate promotional material (links, hashtags, etc) in its summaries, as such
some post processing may be required on the model's outputs.
If using on Colab, the instance will crash if the number of tokens in the transcript exceeds 7000. I discovered that the model
generated reasonable summaries even when the podcast transcript was truncated to reduce the number of tokens.
#### How to use
The model can be used with the summarisation as follows:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
summarizer = pipeline("summarization", model="paulowoicho/t5-podcast-summarisation", tokenizer="paulowoicho/t5-podcast-summarisation")
summary = summarizer(podcast_transcript, min_length=5, max_length=20)
print(summary[0]['summary_text'])
```
## Training data
This model is the result of fine-tuning [t5-base](https://huggingface.co/t5-base) on the [Spotify Podcast Dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.04270).
[Pre-processing](https://github.com/paulowoicho/msc_project/blob/master/reformat.py) was done on the original data before fine-tuning.
## Training procedure
Training was largely based on [Fine-tune T5 for Summarization](https://github.com/abhimishra91/transformers-tutorials/blob/master/transformers_summarization_wandb.ipynb) by [Abhishek Kumar Mishra](https://github.com/abhimishra91)
