Document Summarization

Suggest Edits

Overview

The Gradient Accelerator Block for document summarization efficiently summarizes documents and excerpts into a high-quality snapshot of key points, leveraging user-provided style examples or length guidance.

Document summarization can be used to extract insights from news articles or synthesize customer conversations, allowing users to save time and focus on higher level tasks.

Create an account and workspace

If you haven't already, go to gradient.ai, click sign up and create your account. Once you have verified your email, log in to the account. Click "Create New Workspace" and give it a name.

You can see your workspaces at any time by going to https://auth.gradient.ai/select-workspace.

Use the Accelerator Blocks playground

You can easily try out the Gradient Accelerator Block for document summarization via the playground UI.

  1. Log into Gradient and select the workspace you want to use. Select the “Accelerator Blocks” tab from the left sidebar.

  2. Navigate to the “Document Summary” block.

  3. Insert the text or excerpt into the input. Optionally, select a length for the summary or provide a few of your own summarization examples.

    1. Length – The model will use this as an approximate guidance to generate the summary. The exact length is not guaranteed.
    2. Training examples – These document + summary example pairs are provided to tune the model to follow user preferences for summaries. The model will learn the tone, style, and key points to follow when summarizing. We recommend providing at least 5 examples for optimal effectiveness.

  4. Hit “Submit” and a summary should be generated below!

Use the SDK

The SDK is best suited for integrating document summarization into your application or business workflow.

Follow our SDK Quickstart to get set up. From there, simply provide your document for summarization and (optionally) the desired length or training examples.
