Fine-tune BERT for Extractive Summarization

Fine-tune BERT for Better News Summaries

BERT is a powerful model that learns from lots of text and can help make short, clear summaries.
A simple tweak of BERT can turn it into a tool for picking the most useful sentences from an article — this is called extractive summarization.
The change is small but it makes summaries much better on big news sets like CNN/DailyMail.
The new setup reached state-of-the-art results, beating the older methods by a clear margin, so readers get tighter and more accurate recaps without extra fluff.
You can also see how it works yourself since the code is shared online, ready to try.
It is fast to run and more simple than many fancy systems.
Try it on your favorite news story, and you will notice it keeps the key facts and drops the rest.
This is a neat step for tools that save time and help people skim news quick, and the method might be used for other kinds of text too.
Give it a go, it may surprise you.
