How deeply does Microsoft Azure in Action cover summarization?

Explains the purpose through a suitcase analogy but does not work through a summary prompt or assess summary quality.

Summarization

As explained in Microsoft Azure in Action

Summarization is the generation of a shorter representation that preserves the main information in a source text.

Summarization turns a longer text into a shorter version that keeps its main information. A bookstore could use generated book summaries to help customers decide which titles to explore. section 7.1

Summarizing can also help when a source is too large to fit into a model’s context window. Think of that window as a fixed-size suitcase: pack the text down, split it into chunks, or retrieve only the relevant pieces. Test the chosen model for speed, cost, and quality before putting it to work. section 7.1
