Abstract

As a classic problem of Natural Language Processing, summarization provides convenience for studies, research, and daily life. The performance of generation summarization by Natural Language Processing techniques has attracted considerable attention. Meanwhile, COVID-19, a global explosion event, has led to the emergence of a large number of articles and research. The wide variety of articles makes it a perfect realization object for summarization generation tasks. This paper designed and implemented experiments by fine tuning T5 model to get an abstract summarization of COVID-19 literatures. A comparison of performance was shown to prove the reliability of the model.
