recap. is an extraction-based text summarization tool that ranks the sentences within the text by importance. It reorganizes the summary to focus on a certain topic; by selection of the most frequent keyword. It extracts the most important sentences and removes insignificant transition phrases, unnecessary clauses, and excessive examples.
The algorithm works by these simplified steps:
- Calculate the occurrence of each word in the text.
- Associate words with their grammatical counterparts. (e.g. "create” and "creativity”)
- Assign each word with points depending on their popularity (frequency in the text).
- Split up the text into individual sentences.
- Rank sentences by the sum of their words' points.
- Return some of the most highly ranked sentences in chronological order.
