Look inside
Text summarization is a powerful data science technique. It allows vital high-level information to be automatically extracted from reams of text data, without any slow and expensive human analysis.

In this liveProject, you’ll master text summarization techniques for summarizing news data by building a tool that can extract key information about COVID-19 from news articles using the PyTorch deep learning library. Your challenges will include cleaning your data set, building an attention-based deep learning model, and evaluating the success of your model using TensorBoard and ROUGE scores.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.

prerequisites

The liveProject is for intermediate Python programmers who know the basics of data science. To begin this liveProject, you will need to be familiar with:

TOOLS
  • Intermediate Python
  • Basics of pandas
  • Basics of NumPy
  • Basics of scikit-learn
  • Basics of Jupyter Notebook
  • Basics of PyTorch
TECHNIQUES
  • Basics of machine learning
  • Basics of sequence-to-sequence modeling
  • Basics of deep learning concepts

you will learn

In this liveProject, you’ll master PyTorch-based text summarization, a useful and easily transferable data science task. Text summarization can be applied to many real-world applications such as legal document summarization, classified document analysis, spam detection, and more.

  • Sequence to sequence models with attention techniques
  • Text data cleanup techniques
  • Feature generation techniques
  • Model building using PyTorch
  • Model debugging with TensorBoard
  • Analyzing model performance tradeoffs
