Docsum Project Opened

The Document Summarization (docsum) project has been opened on SF. This project is still in its planning phase, and many design considerations are still being made. At a high level, this system will be designed to construct summary information from large documents. For example, various research papers would be added to this system, and based on a user query a summary would be produced with relevant information related to the query. Sounding simple, this is expected to be a complex task. Beginning stages will include database design, document handling and user interfaces. Stay tuned.
