# Model Card for honicky/t5-short-story-character-extractor

I trained this model as part of a learning project to build a children's story authoring tool for parents of young children.  See http://www.storytime.glass/
This model takes in a short story and outputs a comma separated list of characters in the story.

I'm not sure yet how useful this fine-tune is: rather it is for me to learn about the nuts and bolts of fine-tuning.


## Model Details

The model is a fine-tune of a sequence-to-sequence model [Flan T5 Large](https://huggingface.co./google/flan-t5-large), so a different architecture from decoder-only models like GPT*.  Maybe this allows it to perform this transformation task (transform a story into a list of characters) using a smaller model?  

 * Trained using `transformers.Seq2SeqTrainer` plus the corresponding collator, tokenizer etc
