A News Summariser of the content of the news gathered while clicking on 'Listen News' button

Till now, the system reads the news obtained. Use some text summariser tool to shorten the news.

This is pretty interesting ... i want to work on it . I have skills in django and python , but i think any other tech like web scrapping also needed ? i need permission and a little guidance of yours .

@7saikat7 definitely !!! So you are contributing under JWOC, right?

We are using a simple tool (python library) for webscraping. We want that the content should get shortened before being converted into an audio file.

Check out https://github.com/rsrkpatwari1234/EchoForMe/blob/main/echoForMe/readtext/views.py file. You can use anything for summarising. There are various models available online

Hey, @vidit624 I want to work on this issue, I will add make an ML model from scratch which uses extraction-based summarization. It works as follows:

• grab the text and divide each sentence
• tokenize the sentences
• calculate the frequency weight for each sentence
• tune-fine the best threshold frequency weight for the model
• then test it on the test data

Also, I will try to implement this model with this project, and then make a pr. later on, we may change it into a deep learning Text Summarizer for getting better results.

NOTE: I'm participating in DWoC, not in JWoC, so please assign the tag accordingly, Thanks
