Summarizer / News: Recent posts

As of 5 Oct 2006, a demo is hosted on http://summary.hobby-site.com.
This is a step ahead of just summarization of web pages. This demo takes a keyword and generates a summary for that keyword, as it is popularly known on the web. See example summaries for Black Hole, http://summary.hobby-site.com/s/Black_Hole and Distributed Hash Table, http://summary.hobby-site.com/s/Distributed_Hash_Table (The ads are just to check the quality of summary!)
This is far from being useful, and is being worked upon. No download is available yet.

Summarizer has following Goals:
1. For given text, generate a useful summary
2. For a webpage, generate summary. Use HTML features intelligently
3. For a given phrase, generate a general summary, based on results for that phrase on popular search engines
4. For a given phrase, generate clusters of topics, and generate a summary for the phrase w.r.t each topic, again using popular search engines as an index of the WEB.
