Manual transcription and summarization is a cumbersome process necessitating the development of an efficient automatic text summarization technique. In this study, a Chrome extension is used for making the process of transcription hassle- free. It uses the text summarization technique to generate concise and succinct matter. Also, the tool is accessorized using Google Translation, to convert the processed text into users' desired language. This paper illustrates, how captions can be traced from the online meetings, corresponding to which, meeting transcript is sent to the backend where it is summarized using an NLP model. It also walks through three different NLP models and presents a comparative study among them. The NLTK model utilizes the sentence ranking technique for extractive summarization. Word Embedding model uses pre-trained Glove Embeddings for extractive summarization. The T5 model performs abstractive summarization using transformer architecture.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-51236-8 — Foresight Edited by Lawrence W. Sherman , David Allan Feller Frontmatter More Information FORESIGHT How do attempts to foresee the future actually change it? For thousands of years, humans have called upon foresight to shape their own actions in order to adapt and survive; as Charles Darwin revealed in his theory of natural selection, the capacity to do just that is key to the origin of species. The uses of foresight, however, can also be applied to help us further our understanding across a variety of realms in everything from warfare, journalism and music, to ancient civilizations, space weather and science. In a thought-provoking new addition to the Darwin College Lecture Series, eight distinguished authors each present an essay from their area of expertise devoted to the theme of ‘foresight’. This provocative read reveals foresight as a process that can be identified across all areas of human endeavour; an art which can not only predict the future, but make it anything but inevitable. Contributors Geoffrey Lloyd, Bridget Kendall, Robert J. Sawyer, Hasok Chang, Nicholas Cook, Jim Wild, Terrie E. Moffitt and Francesca Rochberg. LAWRENCE W. SHERMAN is Director of the Institute of Criminology at the University of Cambridge, where he has served as Wolfson Professor of Criminology since 2007. He is also Director of the Jerry Lee Centre for Experimental Criminology and Chair of the Cambridge Police Executive Programme. DAVID FELLER holds a PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Cambridge, as well as a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center, Washington D.C.

  • BBC Bangladesh Sanglap
    Bangladesh Sanglap BANGLADESH SANGLAP A DECADE OF TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH MEDIA bbcworldservicetrust.org 1 Introduction ‘Sanglap’ is Bangla for dialogue, and it’s a word which captures the ethos behind the pioneering TV and radio debate programme, Bangladesh Sanglap. It began life in 2005 as a joint initiative between the BBC World Service Trust, the BBC’s international development charity, and the BBC Bangla Service. Now, five years later, having helped establish a sustainable media platform, and as with many of the programmes we helped set up around the world, we are handing it over. This booklet celebrates Sanglap’s success and achievements to date and looks at the ways in which it has made a very real difference not only to people’s lives, but also illustrates how it has developed and diversified the political and media landscape of Bangladesh. In many ways, it has been a brave undertaking. Sanglap was launched at a time of political turbulence in Bangladesh. But despite this, the programme has survived and flourished, helping to hold politicians to account and provide valuable information for members of the public during this volatile period. The success of Sanglap is demonstrated by the audience research that has underpinned the work. In an endline survey, 86% of those questioned said they felt the programme has improved political debate in Bangladesh and 78% believed the programme has helped to ensure transparency and accountability. I would like to thank our partners on this project: the UK Department for International Development, our colleagues at BBC Bangla, and Channel i who broadcast the debates.
