Recent work using 🤖 **transformers** 🤖 on large text corpora has shown great success when fine-tuned on
several different downstream NLP tasks. One such task is that of text summarization. The goal of text summarization
is to generate concise and accurate summaries from input document(s). There are 2 types of summarization:
- **Extractive summarization** merely copies informative fragments from the input.
- **Abstractive summarization**
may generate novel words. A good abstractive summary should cover principal information in the input and has to be
linguistically fluent. This interactive blogpost will focus on this more difficult task of abstractive summary
generation. Furthermore we will focus mainly on hallucination errors, and less on sentence fluency.""")
