Summarise Text

Question

If you wanted to make an app that summarises a passage, what algorithm would you use?
I have been trying to figure out how someone did that!
I read an article over the internet about this boy, I forgot his name, that created an app called Summly, and this app could summarise text!
How do you think he did that?

Answer 1

sounds complicated but it makes sense!

So what you will have to do basically is teach the app how to write English? 😅

I don't know about you guys, but form me, I have no idea of where to start with teaching a programming language English!

Answer 2

Figure out a way to locate verbs, nouns, articles etc and program the app to understand the makeup of the language. language afterall has its own rules. Just put that in code as efficient as possible.

Answer 3

start by teaching it a basic sentence structure. Subject, verb, predicate . just like elementary school

Answer 4

Just make sure that you make this algorithm able to handle other sentences. hopefully more complicated as well which includes adverbs, adjectives, etc. There may be a simpler way but out of the top of my head, this is what I'd do.
