How to use Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-model with Transformers:
# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper # Warning: Pipeline type "summarization" is no longer supported in transformers v5. # You must load the model directly (see below) or downgrade to v4.x with: # 'pip install "transformers<5.0.0' from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("summarization", model="Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-model")# Load model directly from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-model") model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-model") - Notebooks

| # lit2vec-tldr-bart (DistilBART fine-tuned for chemistry TL;DRs) | |
| **lit2vec-tldr-bart** is a DistilBART model fine-tuned on **19,992** CC-BY licensed chemistry abstracts to produce **concise TL;DR-style summaries** aligned with methods β results β significance. Itβs designed for scientific **abstractive summarization**, **semantic indexing**, and **knowledge-graph population** in chemistry and related fields. | |
| - **Base model:** `sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6` | |
| - **Training data:** [`Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-dataset`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-dataset) | |
| - **Max input length:** 1024 tokens | |
| - **Target length:** ~128 tokens | |

| | Test | **56.11** | **30.78** | **45.43** | | |
| > Validation RLsum: 46.05 | |
| > Metrics computed with `evaluate`'s `rouge` (NLTK sentence segmentation, `use_stemmer=True`). | |
| --- | |
| ## π Quickstart | |
| ```python | |
| from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, GenerationConfig | |
| repo = "Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart" | |
| tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo) | |
| model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(repo) | |
| gen = GenerationConfig.from_pretrained(repo) # loads default decoding params | |
| text = "Proton exchange membrane fuel cells convert chemical energy into electricity..." | |
| inputs = tok(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=1024) | |
| summary_ids = model.generate(**inputs, **gen.to_dict()) | |
| print(tok.decode(summary_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True)) | |
| ```` | |
| ### Batch inference (PyTorch) | |
| ```python | |
| texts = [ | |
| "Abstract 1 ...", | |
| "Abstract 2 ...", | |
| ] | |
| batch = tok(texts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1024) | |
| out = model.generate(**batch, **gen.to_dict()) | |
| summaries = tok.batch_decode(out, skip_special_tokens=True) | |
| ``` | |
| --- | |
| ## π§ Default decoding (saved in `generation_config.json`) | |
| These are the defaults saved with the model (you can override at `generate()` time): | |
| ```json | |
| { | |
| "max_length": 142, | |
| "min_length": 56, | |
| "early_stopping": true, | |
| "num_beams": 4, | |
| "length_penalty": 2.0, | |
| "no_repeat_ngram_size": 3, | |
| "forced_bos_token_id": 0, | |
| "forced_eos_token_id": 2 | |
| } | |
| ``` | |

| ## π Training details | |
| * **Base:** `sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6` (Distilled BART) | |
| * **Data:** 19,992 CC-BY chemistry abstracts with TL;DR summaries | |
| * **Splits:** train=17,992 / val=999 / test=1,001 | |
| * **Max lengths:** input 1024, target 128 | |
| * **Optimizer:** AdamW, **lr=2e-5** | |
| * **Batching:** per-device train/eval batch size 4, **gradient\_accumulation\_steps=4** | |
| * **Epochs:** 5 | |
| * **Precision:** fp16 (when CUDA available) | |
| * **Hardware:** single NVIDIA RTX 3090 | |
| * **Seed:** 42 | |
| * **Libraries:** π€ Transformers + Datasets, `evaluate` for ROUGE, NLTK for sentence splitting | |
| --- | |
| ## β Intended use | |
| * TL;DR abstractive summaries for **chemistry** and adjacent domains (materials science, chemical engineering, environmental science). | |
| * **Semantic indexing**, **IR reranking**, and **knowledge graph** ingestion where concise method/result statements are helpful. | |
| ### Limitations & risks | |
| * May **hallucinate** details not present in the abstract (typical for abstractive models). | |
| * Not a substitute for expert judgment; avoid using summaries as sole evidence for scientific claims. | |
| * Trained on CC-BY English abstracts; performance may degrade on other domains/languages. | |
| --- | |
| ## π¦ Files | |
| This repo should include: | |
| * `config.json`, `pytorch_model.bin` or `model.safetensors` | |
| * `tokenizer.json`, `tokenizer_config.json`, `special_tokens_map.json`, merges/vocab as applicable | |
| * `generation_config.json` (decoding defaults) | |
| --- | |
| ## π Reproducibility | |
| * Dataset: [`Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-dataset`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Bocklitz-Lab/lit2vec-tldr-bart-dataset) | |
| * Recommended preprocessing: truncate inputs at 1024 tokens; targets at 128. | |
| * ROUGE evaluation: `evaluate.load("rouge")`, NLTK sentence tokenization, `use_stemmer=True`. | |
