Can haystack paraphrase a document?

[AI-Ahmed]

Hi, I was wondering how can I use a haystack for paraphrasing the list of documents?

Hi @AI-Ahmed! I think this should be actually possible using the TransformersSummarizer node. Instead of providing a summarization model, you should be able to simply supply a paraphrising model.

I thought about that actually, but I want to ask a question, can I use T5 there and work?

[bogdankostic]

Hey, is there a specific T5 model you are referring to? Then I can quickly check if this would work.

I was wondering if T5-base would paraphrase long-form sentences such as this example;

Transfer learning, where a model is first pre-trained on a data-rich task before being fine-tuned on a downstream task, has emerged as a powerful technique in natural language processing (NLP). The effectiveness of transfer learning has given rise to a diversity of approaches, methodology, and practices. In this paper, we explore the landscape of transfer learning techniques for NLP by introducing a unified framework that converts every language problem into a text-to-text format. Our systematic study compares pre-training objectives, architectures, unlabeled datasets, transfer approaches, and other factors on dozens of language understanding tasks. By combining the insights from our exploration with scale and our new “Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus”, we achieve state-of-the-art results on many benchmarks covering summarization, question answering, text classification, and more. To facilitate future work on transfer learning for NLP, we release our dataset, pre-trained models, and code.

Hi @AI-Ahmed , I am quite confident that there is a model out there for your paraphrasing task. We have some code snippets which you can copy in order to run our Summarizer. Here you will find a list of models that can be loaded into the Summarizer. Please let us know if this works out well for you!

I totally forgot about this since I found other alternative for my client. Anyway, I'm very happy to know that!
