#12Hi everyone I am delighted to share my new project "TLDR This" with you guys. Problem : There's so much content out there but too little time to read. So many times, it happens that there's a long article that we're interested in, but we don't really feel like scouring through it to extract relevant information from it. Hence, I created "TLDR This" to help you navigate relevant content quickly and easily, without hav…
Unless you make this painfully transparent, a rational person would have to assume some intent of bias. No offense intended - I'm stoked you made this as its one of those tools I've always intended to make myself. But honestly, given the revelations of the last few years - unless we can verify as a community that there isn't bias, we have to assume there is.

#15I like the name, this sounds similar to (or in the same space as) Summly, which morphed into News Digest, a former Yahoo service which was sold to them by a British teenager for millions a few years back.
Good luck!

#16Just tried on one of my articles. Good job! It works like a charm! Any high level info on how it works?
OP replied in a thread above.
> Thanks a lot. Sure, first we create a list of all the individual sentences in the article. Then, we use the TextRank algorithm to rank each of the text sentences. Finally, we select the top 5 most representative sentences from the article.

> TLDR This also comes with a chrome extension
Firefox uses the exact same extension format, and except for non-trivial cases, “porting” an extension to Firefox involves literally no code-changes.
Consider publishing your extension for Firefox too. You just need a Mozilla-account to publish it on addons.mozilla.org. That’s pretty much it.

#18Sorry,
i've some experience in this field:
- This is text-extraction, NOT text-generation - TextRank algorithm is so far fine, but it does not write a "summary", instead it ranks the components of a text according to some "metrics" (simply spoken)
- Using this approach will still make you attackable by copyright claims from copyright owners
- Which stuff is summarized ("put to the final output") is not always clear to me in your implementation, i tried it on some newspaper & blog articles; on some it worked well, on others it didn't.
Funny thing is, i'm currently working on something similar with a slightly different twist - i will post it here if finished, than we can go into a battle :-)

#19I love it! One important feature, to help improve accuracy, is to display 2 big buttons at the bottom, a thumbs up and a thumbs down, meaning "this TL;DR is reflective of the actual content" or "this TL;DR is not reflective of the actual content".
We are glad that you liked it.
That's a very good suggestion. We will try to incorporate it in our next update.
Thank you very much for taking the time to use the app and provide your feedback.

Thank you for your feedback.
I am sorry to hear it didn't work on the article you tried.
I have personally tried it on a number of articles and it seems to provide good results. Also, I have received feedback from a number of users who say that it worked for them. But yes there are some articles where it fails to give accurate results since the "article summarisation" technology is still in its development stage.
We will try to improve it in the next version.
Thank you again for your feedback.
