đ§ Technical Details
The model leverages Local - Sparse - Global attention mechanism to handle long - sequence inputs effectively. This attention mechanism allows the model to focus on relevant parts of the long text while reducing computational complexity. The model architecture consists of 6 encoder layers and 6 decoder layers, with approximately 145 million parameters. It starts from the BART - base model, is modified to handle long sequences (only in the encoder part), and then is fine - tuned on the scientific_papers pubmed dataset.
