Task: Summarization

The following is copied from the authors' README.

# Mixed & Stochastic Checkpoints

We train a pegasus model with sampled gap sentence ratios on both C4 and HugeNews, and stochastically sample important sentences. The updated the results are reported in this table.

| ---- | ---- | ---- | ----|

The "Mixed & Stochastic" model has the following changes:
- trained on both C4 and HugeNews (dataset mixture is weighted by their number of examples). 
- trained for 1.5M instead of 500k (we observe slower convergence on pretraining perplexity).
- the model uniformly sample a gap sentence ratio between 15% and 45%.
- importance sentences are sampled using a 20% uniform noise to importance scores.
- the sentencepiece tokenizer is updated to be able to encode newline character.


(*) the numbers of wikihow and big_patent datasets are not comparable because of change in tokenization and data:
- wikihow dataset contains newline characters which is useful for paragraph segmentation, the C4 and HugeNews model's sentencepiece tokenizer doesn't encode newline and loose this information.
- we update the BigPatent dataset to preserve casing, some format cleanings are also changed, please refer to change in TFDS.
