T5 Base Summarization Claim Extractor

🚀 Model Card: T5-base-summarization-claim-extractor

This T5-base-summarization-claim-extractor model is designed for extracting atomic claims from summaries. It plays a crucial role in the factuality evaluation of summaries, contributing to more accurate and reliable information processing.

🚀 Quick Start

Example Code

from transformers import T5ForConditionalGeneration, T5Tokenizer

tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("Babelscape/t5-base-summarization-claim-extractor")
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("Babelscape/t5-base-summarization-claim-extractor")
summary = 'Simone Biles made a triumphant return to the Olympic stage at the Paris 2024 Games, competing in the women’s gymnastics qualifications. Overcoming a previous struggle with the “twisties” that led to her withdrawal from events at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Biles dazzled with strong performances on all apparatus, helping the U.S. team secure a commanding lead in the qualifications. Her routines showcased her resilience and skill, drawing enthusiastic support from a star-studded audience'

tok_input = tokenizer.batch_encode_plus([summary], return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
claims = model.generate(**tok_input)
claims = tokenizer.batch_decode(claims, skip_special_tokens=True)

Note: The model outputs the claims in a single string. Kindly remember to split the string into sentences in order to retrieve the singular claims.

Overview

The T5-base-summarization-claim-extractor is a model developed for the task of extracting atomic claims from summaries. The model is based on the T5 architecture which is then fine-tuned specifically for claim extraction.

This model was introduced as part of the research presented in the paper "FENICE: Factuality Evaluation of summarization based on Natural Language Inference and Claim Extraction" by Alessandro Scirè, Karim Ghonim, and Roberto Navigli. FENICE leverages Natural Language Inference (NLI) and Claim Extraction to evaluate the factuality of summaries. ArXiv version.

Intended Use

This model is designed to:

• Extract atomic claims from summaries.
• Serve as a component in pipelines for factuality evaluation of summaries.

Limitations

• The model is specifically designed for extracting claims from summaries and may not perform well on other types of texts.
• The model is currently available only in English and may not generalize well to other languages.

Ethical Considerations

⚠️ Important Note

Users should be aware that while this model extracts claims that can be evaluated for factuality, it does not determine the truthfulness of those claims. Therefore, it should be used in conjunction with other tools or human judgment when evaluating the reliability of summaries.
