Summarizing with Transformers.js

20-Dec-2024 10
How well does Transformers.js handle summarizing content?arlier this month I took my first look at using Transformers.js, a JavaScript SDK around multiple different models hosted by Hugging Face. My initial experiments worked pretty OK I think. The sentiment analysis felt pretty good, and the object detection (with a cat demo of course), worked pretty good as well. I was curious how well summarization would work, and while I'm not quite as impressed as I was before, I thought I'd share what I found. (And it's 100% possible I'm not tweaking the right knobs to get better results, so if you see a way to improve my results, leave me a comment!).
