TextRank implementation for text summarization and keyword extraction in Python.
- Text summarization
- Keyword extraction
Text summarization:
>>> text = """Automatic summarization is the process of reducing a text document with a computer program in order to create a summary that retains the most important points of the original document. As the problem of information overload has grown, and as the quantity of data has increased, so has interest in automatic summarization. Technologies that can make a coherent summary take into account variables such as length, writing style and syntax. An example of the use of summarization technology is search engines such as Google. Document summarization is another.""" >>> from summa import summarizer >>> print(summarizer.summarize(text)) 'Automatic summarization is the process of reducing a text document with a computer program in order to create a summary that retains the most important points of the original document.'
Keyword extraction:
>>> from summa import keywords >>> print(keywords.keywords(text)) document summarization writing account
This software depends on NumPy and Scipy, two Python packages for scientific computing. Pip will automatically install them along with summa:
pip install summa
For a better performance of keyword extraction, install Pattern
Command-line usage:
textrank -t FILE
Define length of the summary as a proportion of the text (also available in
keywords
):>>> from summa.summarizer import summarize >>> summarize(text, ratio=0.2)
Define length of the summary by aproximate number of words (also available in
keywords
):>>> summarize(text, words=50)
Define input text language (also available in
keywords
):>>> summarize(text, language='spanish')
The available languages are "danish", "dutch", "english", "finnish", "french", "german", "hungarian", "italian", "norwegian", "porter", "portuguese", "romanian", "russian", "spanish", "swedish"
Get results as a list (also available in
keywords
):>>> summarize(text, split=True) ['Automatic summarization is the process of reducing a text document with a computer program in order to create a summary that retains the most important points of the original document.']
