# 🚀 Feature request

An extractive summarization pipeline similar to the one for abstractive summarization. 

A central place for researchers to upload new models for others to use, without having to run the code from various git repo's. 

Currently, extractive summarization is the only safe choice for producing textual summaries in practices. Therefore, it seems relevant for Huggingface to include a pipeline for this task. 

This has previously been brought up here:  https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/4332, but the issue remains closed which is unfortunate, as I think it would be a great feature. 

## Motivation

The current abstractive summarization pipeline is certainly very useful, and a great feature for all working on NLG tasks. 

However, given the significant problems with factual consistency in asbtractive summaries (see in example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.13346, https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14839), abstractive summaries are still very risky to use in practice, as even the state of the art models are riddled with factual errors. 

Any thoughts on this? :)
