• Shivansh S.
• Tejasvi Chebrolu

How to Use

• Clone the repository
• Install all dependencies mentioned in requirements.txt
• Choose which method you would like to use, and depending on that go to appropriate section

Method I

This model generates a summary using a Document Term Matrix and frequency count. To use this

• Go to the method_1 folder
• Place your article in valid folder named as article.txt.

• Run the extractive.py file using python3.

• You will end up getting a summary named as summary.txt inside the valid folder.

Method II

This model generates a summary using modified TF-IDF of the document dataset, with weights attached. To use this

• Go to the method_2 folder
• Place your article in valid folder
• Run the code in jupyter notebook

• Input the name of your file which is within that directory

• You will end up getting a summary + wordcloud in the output folder :)

Calculating Accuracy

• Add the Gold standard for the summary as n.txt in the Gold folder in the Summaries directory. Here n is the next number in the sequence in the Gold folder.
• For example, if there are 7 files in the Gold Folder, they must be labelled as 1.txt 2.txt … 7.txt etc.
• Repeat this process for the summaries generated by the rule-based method and the extractive method and store them in the Extractive and RuleBased directories.
• You can do this on the terminal via simple redirection.
• Now, in the accuracy.py file on line number 15, change the code to for i in range(1, n+1): where n is the same variable as above.
• For example, if your file was saved as 9.txt you would change the code to for i in range(1, 10):
• Run the code as python accuracy.py
• If you want individual accuracies for any article, you can uncomment line number 62 in the Rouge_1.py file.
• It is advised then to redirect to a new file as python accuracy.py > output.txt to enable better formatting.

Initial Results

For Method I we got an accuracy of 74.1%
For Method II we got an accuracy of 83.4%

Methods of Evaluation

The evaulation was done based on the Rouge method proposed by Chin-Yew Lin. For this project, since the summarization has been extractive, only Rouge-I has been used. To generate the gold standard for the summaries, the annotation was done manually. For any given article, the annotators were asked to pick the most important sentences. The only rule was that the number of sentences they could choose was equal to 0.3N where N was the number of sentences in the initial article.
