Use Natural Language Processing to summarize a large text file into a few key sentences

Using NLP to Summarize Long Text Files

This idea stemmed from an article by Louis Teo

The program takes a text file and returns a summary of the file containing the three most important sentences. To see how it works, take a look at the Summarize.ipynb Jupyter Notebook.

NOTE: a more user-friendly version of this application is included on my website

Instructions:

1. Save any articles or long text to a .txt file in the NLP-Summarize/text_files directory. Remember the name of the file.
2. From your computer's terminal, navigate to the NLP-Summarize directory
3. Enter the following command in terminal: python3 summarize.py
