Text summarization

Text summarization is the process of automatically generating summarized text of the document test fed as an input by retaining the important information of the document. Text summarization condenses a big set of information in a concise manner; therefore, summaries play an important role in applications related to news/articles, text search, and report generation.

There are two types of summarization algorithms:

Extractive summarization: Creates summaries by copying parts of the text from the input text
Abstractive summarization: Generates new text by rephrasing the text or using new words that were not in the input text

The attention-based encoder decoder model created for machine translation (Bahdanau et al., 2014)is a sequence-to-sequence model and was able to generate abstractive summaries with good performance by achieving good ROUGE score (seeAppendix A, Further topics in Reinforcement Learning). The performance was good on short input sequences and it deteriorated...

Practical Reinforcement Learning

Practical Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning (RL) is becoming a popular tool for constructing autonomous systems that improve themselves with experience. We will break the RL framework into its core building blocks, and provide you with details of each element. This book is divided into three parts. The first part defines Reinforcement Learning and describes the basics and the Python and Java frameworks, which we are going to use later in the book. The second part discusses learning techniques with basic algorithms such as Temporal Difference, Monte Carlo, and Policy Gradient—all with practical examples. Lastly, in the third part we apply Reinforcement Learning with the most recent and widely used algorithms, via practical applications.
