Overview

The goal of this competition was to create a notebook that demonstrates how to use the Gemma LLM to accomplish one of the following data science oriented tasks:

  • Explain or teach basic data science concepts.
  • Answer common questions about the Python programming language.
  • Summarize Kaggle solution write-ups.
  • Explain or teach concepts from Kaggle competition solution write-ups.
  • Answer common questions about the Kaggle platform.

My final choice was the complex world of text summarization using Gemma and LangChain. The key aspects I discuss are:

  • Establishing a text summarization pipeline using Gemma and LangChain
  • Providing an overview of the crucial parameters and methods one should keep in mind while working with an LLM
  • Exploring summarization techniques, such as Stuffing, MapReduce and Refine
  • Fine-tuning Gemma using Parameter Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT)
  • Future considerations and next steps

This work aims to build a comprehensive understanding of the task and develop a pipeline that can serve as a good starting point for individuals interested in approaching summarization tasks using open-source models like Gemma.
