FAQ

What is this?

An automatic news summary generator

How does it work?

Using Bing cognitive service api, we get a list of urls of multiple news sources from a given keyword. We then extract the article text from the webpages. SumBasic (Nenkova and Vanderwende 2005) algorithm is used to generate a summary.

The summary does not make sense, why?

NS can only summarize news events, the input keywords needs to be a news. In addition, try to be narrow and specific with your topic, it should give better results.

There are bugs!

I had to implement SubBasic for my NLP course assignment, I then built this just for fun. Please feel free to submit pull requests!
