Preference-Tuned Summarizer using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)

This repository hosts a lightweight text summarization model fine-tuned from DistilGPT2 using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). The model was trained on preference-labeled data to generate summaries that align better with human preferences compared to traditional supervised fine-tuning.

Model Details

Base model: DistilGPT2
Fine-tuning method: Direct Preference Optimization (DPO)
Dataset: Preference pairs with prompt, chosen, and rejected summaries
Evaluation metrics: ROUGE-1 (0.2841), ROUGE-L (0.2247), BLEU (0.0286)
Use case: Generating high-quality, human-aligned text summaries

How to Use

You can load and use the model easily with the Hugging Face Transformers library:

from transformers import pipeline

summarizer = pipeline("text-generation", model="justthzz/preference-tuned-summarizer")
text = "Summarize: Your input text here."

summary = summarizer(text, max_length=150, do_sample=False)
print(summary[0]['generated_text'])

Files Included

pytorch_model.bin - Model weights
config.json - Model configuration
Tokenizer files (tokenizer.json, vocab.txt, etc.)
Model card and this README

About DPO

Direct Preference Optimization is a fine-tuning technique that leverages preference-labeled datasets to directly optimize a model’s output preferences. This method improves alignment with human judgments beyond typical supervised fine-tuning.
