# BART (large-sized model), fine-tuned on CNN Daily Mail 

BART model pre-trained on English language, and fine-tuned on [CNN Daily Mail](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cnn_dailymail). It was introduced in the paper [BART: Denoising Sequence-to-Sequence Pre-training for Natural Language Generation, Translation, and Comprehension](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.13461) by Lewis et al. and first released in [this repository (https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/bart). 

Disclaimer: The team releasing BART did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.

## Model description

BART is a transformer encoder-encoder (seq2seq) model with a bidirectional (BERT-like) encoder and an autoregressive (GPT-like) decoder. BART is pre-trained by (1) corrupting text with an arbitrary noising function, and (2) learning a model to reconstruct the original text.

BART is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (e.g. summarization, translation) but also works well for comprehension tasks (e.g. text classification, question answering). This particular checkpoint has been fine-tuned on CNN Daily Mail, a large collection of text-summary pairs.

## Intended uses & limitations

You can use this model for text summarization. 

### How to use

Here is how to use this model with the [pipeline API](https://huggingface.co/transformers/main_classes/pipelines.html):

```python
from transformers import pipeline

summarizer = pipeline("summarization", model="facebook/bart-large-cnn")

ARTICLE = """ from transformers import pipeline

summarizer = pipeline("summarization", model="facebook/bart-large-cnn")

ARTICLE = """ Professor Michael Adams is a specialist in Australian corporate law and international corporate governance. Michael has expertise in financial services regulation, information governance, consumer protection and the broader area of legal technology. Professor Adams is the Academic Dean of the University of New England Law School and from 2007 to 2017 Dean of Law at Western Sydney Law School.

He teaches, writes and presents regularly on these topics, as well as a major media commentator. He has published 12 books, 37 chapters, >120 articles and presented at >300 conferences/seminars in the last 30 years.

Professor Adams’ has degrees in accounting/economics and law, with postgraduate studies at University College London; he is a Fellow of the Australian College of Educators; the Governance Institute of Australia [FGA/FGIA(Life)] and the Australian Academy of Law; Member of Resolution Institute. He was the UTS Professor of Corporate Law and Perpetual Trustees Australia chair of Financial Services Law.  

2001 National President of Governance Institute of Australia and served on the ICSA International Professional Standards Committee.  He has been a consultant to national law firm Ashurst and currently, Coleman Grieg Lawyers.
