Highlight any text, double tap 'Enter' and get a summary of any text on web Use it to summarize wikipedia articles, scientific papers, books or anything

Chrome 92. Double tap "enter" does nothing. Feedback link on extension leads to nowhere. No description page on plugin. No instructions.

you might have it already mapped by another extension

> Beware: summarisations might not be accurate due to the nature of the model I'd like more information about this before installing it. Why are there no examples? The one example on the page is too small to read. What personal information does the plugin collect? Not trying to be negative. The plugin might be useful. It's difficult to make an assessment without this information.

here's an example:

There are three ingredients in great work: natural ability, practice, and effort . To do the best work you need all three: you need great natural ability and to have practiced a lot and to be trying very hard . The most basic level of which is simply to feel you should be working without anyone telling you to .

No more than 1GB, and inference would be dependent on the speed but no more than 10 seconds. Completely reasonable as a standalone program.

Is there a guide on running it locally? I am currently using some classic algorithms to summarize my RSS feeds, but they aren’t very good.

Sure! Here's the weights https://huggingface.co/sshleifer/distilbart-cnn-12-6 , here's the model https://huggingface.co/transformers/model_doc/bart.html?#tra... . Uses standard pytorch loading, so write your python program around that and it should be fine.

Are you experiencing any cost on your part for utilizing the Huggingface platform ? I see they have something like $25/1M char lookups so just wondering and am excited to see what you have done (possibly at your own expense!). I have been following Semantic Scholar [1] who are part of the Paul Allen AI for Good program and they are also working on NLP summarization -- definitely interesting things happening in this s…

Yeah I'm currently on a free trial of startup plan :)

Dunno what I'm gonna do next. Interested in becoming an angel? :D
