#22Sorry, 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 t…
I'm interested in learning about true generation algorithms. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hi,
- Yes, you are totally right. TextRank is an extractive method. - Ah right. But we aren't storing any information on our servers, just showing selected sentences to the user. - We select the top 5 sentences which have the highest relevancy to the article. I am not an expert in this field so not too sure if that's the best way. Just started with NLP a few days back and wanted to test it out by developing a small application.
Yes, it works on quite a few articles and but also there are some articles where it fails to give accurate results.
Ah nice, I would like to hear more about what you are working on. Let me know if I could contribute to it in some way.
Thank you again for your feedback.

#24It would be great if you could offer a parameter in your URL so I could make a get request like https://tldr.hackeryogi.com/?url=somearticleurl.com
I would embed that in https://uptopnews.com/

#25Hi 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…
> 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.
Hi,
That's a very good suggestion. I didn't know it was that easy to build an extension for Firefox. I will publish it on the Mozilla store as soon as possible.
Thank you very much for taking the time to use the app and providing your feedback.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
How do you create list of sentences from the article? How do you know where article starts and what is just navigation or fluff.
Hi,
We used a python library called newspaper to do it.

#27I 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! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_D%27Aloisio#Summly https://medium.com/amp/p/686a32ac1af8

Hi,
The goal is the same.
TLDR This uses a different algorithm. It is a side project I developed to test out NLP.
Although there are some web apps out there, that allow you to summarize an article, there really isn't any useful chrome extension that does the job well. TLDR This comes with an accompanying chrome extension as well.
Thank you again for your feedback.

#29How does this work? Is it Free Software?
Hi,
We use a version of the TextRank algorithm to rank each of the text sentences in the article and then select the top 5 most representative sentences from the article.
Yes, it is Free and we plan to make it open-source soon as well.
Thank you very much for taking the time to use the app and provide your feedback.

If this is in reference to the copyright comment, it doesn't matter -- you're still transmitting/redistributing the content, which is what matters. One way to get around this is to ship the code and have the code execute on the user's machine (i.e. what you're presumably doing with the extension).
