# Summarization
|
|
|
|
Summarization involves creating a smaller summary of multiple longer documents.
|
|
This can be useful for distilling long documents into the core pieces of information.
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to get started using a summarization chain is:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from langchain.chains.summarize import load_summarize_chain
|
|
chain = load_summarize_chain(llm, chain_type="map_reduce")
|
|
chain.run(docs)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following resources exist:
|
|
- [Summarization Notebook](../modules/indexes/chain_examples/summarize.ipynb): A notebook walking through how to accomplish this task.
|
|
|
|
Additional related resources include:
|
|
- [Utilities for working with Documents](../modules/utils/how_to_guides.rst): Guides on how to use several of the utilities which will prove helpful for this task, including Text Splitters (for splitting up long documents).
|
|
- [CombineDocuments Chains](../modules/indexes/combine_docs.md): A conceptual overview of specific types of chains by which you can accomplish this task.
|
|
- [Data Augmented Generation](./combine_docs.md): An overview of data augmented generation, which is the general concept of combining external data with LLMs (of which this is a subset).
