According to this article, Google has announced an AI-based document summarization feature in Google Docs. The summary field shows up above the contents in the navigation pane, and when an automated summary is available it generates a blue icon (alas, no blue icons for me). "The model is based on PEGASUS," writes Anthony Alford, "an NLP system for abstractive text summarization developed by the Brain Team. PEGASUS uses a pre-training scheme called Gap Sentence Prediction (GSP), which teaches the model to re-generate full sentences that have been masked from input text." It would be useful to have something like this wrtite abstracts for me (one of my least favourite authoring tasks).
