news_text_summarizer

🧠 General Text Summarizer

This model is a fine-tuned version of sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6, trained to generate concise and fluent summaries of general English text — including news articles, essays, stories, and blog posts.

---

🚀 Model Description

• Base model: DistilBART (CNN/DailyMail)
• Framework: 🤗 Transformers (PyTorch)
• Training goal: Summarize text across multiple domains (not limited to one topic)
• Device optimized: CPU & Apple M-series chips (MPS compatible)

This model is suitable for lightweight summarization tasks on laptops or limited-resource machines.

🧾 Example Usage

from transformers import pipeline

summarizer = pipeline("summarization", model="Fathi7ma/general_text_summarizer_cpu")

text = """ Climate change continues to affect weather patterns across the globe. Scientists warn that without immediate action, rising temperatures may lead to irreversible damage to ecosystems and human livelihoods. """

summary = summarizer(text, max_length=80, min_length=25, do_sample=False) print(summary[0]['summary_text'])

Intended uses

This model can summarize: • News articles • Research abstracts • Reports and blogs • Long paragraphs of general English text

Example domains: general news, education, business summaries, and everyday content.

Training

•	Dataset: A subset of CNN/DailyMail, filtered and balanced for general summarization.
•	Approx. 10,000 samples used for CPU-efficient fine-tuning.
•	Texts are trimmed and normalized for readability.
