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.

  • Geographical Connections
    WorldWise resource pack Making geographical connections WorldWise Week: 20-24 June 2016 WorldWise Week 2016: Making geographical connections This pack of resources provide activities for students from primary to post-16 around the theme ‘Making Geographical Connections‘, to consider how we are all surrounded by geographically based connections as well as disconnections; whether they be via transport and travel or technology, or even due to flooding. Resources: How do we connect? (Early years and primary, pp. 3–5) These activities for early years and primary pupils explore what making connections means and how people connect with each other. Mapping connections (Cross-curricular, pp. 6–7) These activities use a range of maps to explore how the world is connected on a global and local scale and connections with oceans and seas. Connecting with the future (Cross-curricular, pp. 8–9) These activities consider ways we currently connect with others and how we are likely to connect in the future. Transport and travel connections (Cross-curricular, pp. 10–12) This resource looks at how transport and travel enables us to make connections, and suggests ways of getting out of the classroom. Wet, Wet, Wet – Flooding connections (Secondary, pp. 13–18) These activities investigate how flooding can result from a combination of connected factors. How do students with special educational needs connect with the world? (Cross-curricular, pp. 19–20) This resource focuses on connecting SEN students with the outside world, and can be adapted for both primary and secondary groups. How can you use this year’s WorldWise Week resource pack? These resources have been written for young people of all ages to appreciate the value of school geography.

For the first time in the history of the Caine Prize, the winner shared her prize money with the other shortlisted writers. Namwali Serpell next to the bust Chair of judges, Zoë Wicomb praised ‘The Sack’ as ‘an extraordinary story of the late Sir Michael Caine. about the aftermath of revolution with its liberatory promises shattered. It makes demands on the reader and challenges conventions of the genre.

  • Integrating Deep Contextualized Word Embeddings Into Text Summarization Systems
    Alma Mater Studiorum · Universita` di Bologna SCUOLA DI SCIENZE Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Informatica INTEGRATING DEEP CONTEXTUALIZED WORD EMBEDDINGS INTO TEXT SUMMARIZATION SYSTEMS Relatore: Presentata da: Prof. Fabio Tamburini Claudio Mastronardo Sessione I Anno Accademico 2018/2019 "Considerate la vostra semenza: fatti non foste a viver come bruti ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza" Dante Alighieri, Inferno XXVI, 116-120 Summary In this thesis deep learning tools will be used to tackle one of the most difficult natural language processing (NLP) problems: text summarization. Given a text, the goal is to generate a summary distilling and compressing information from the whole source text. Early approaches tried to capture the meaning of text by using rules written by human. After this symbolic rule-based era, statistical approaches for NLP have taken over rule-based ones. In the last years Deep Learning (DL) has positively impacted ev- ery NLP area, including text summarization. In this work the power of pointer-generator models [See et al., 2017] is leveraged in combination with pre-trained deep contextualized word embeddings [Peters et al., 2018]. We evaluate this approach on the two largest text summarization datasets avail- able right now: the CNN/Daily Mail dataset and the Newsroom dataset. The CNN/Daily Mail has been generated from the Q&A dataset published by DeepMind [Hermann et al., 2015], by concatenating sentences highlights leading to multi-sentence summaries. The Newsroom dataset is the first dataset explicitly built for text summarization [Grusky et al., 2018]. It is comprised of ∼1 million article-summary pairs having more or less degrees of extractiveness/abstractiveness and several compression ratios.

  • Automatic Text Summarization of Article (NEWS) Using Lexical Chains and Wordnet
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No.4, (2020), pp. 3242 – 3258 Automatic Text Summarization of Article (NEWS) Using Lexical Chains and WordNet Mr.K.JanakiRaman1and Mrs.K.Meenakshi2 PG Student1, Assistant Professor (OG)2 Department of Information Technology1,2 SRM Institute of Science and Technology,Chengalpattu1,2 [email protected],[email protected] Abstract Selection of important information or extracting the same from the original text of large size and present that data in the form of a smaller summaries for easy reading is called as Text Summarization. This process of rephrasing is where we get the shorter version of a text document. As such the Summarizer gives the summary of the News. With the help of few algorithms (like Position of the sentence / phrases, Similarity between the sentences in the main body and the title, Semantics, etc) we can create a Summarizer. Text Summarization has now become the need for numerous applications, for instance, market review for analysts, search engine for phones or PCs, business analysis for those who does business. Outline picks up the necessary data in less time. There are two significant methodologies for a synopsis (Extractive and Abstractive outline) which are talked about in detail later. The procedure conveyed for outline ranges from structured to linguistic. In this paper, we propose a system where we centre around the issue to distinguish the most significant piece of the record and produce an intelligent synopsis for them. In our method, we don't require total semantic interpretation for the substance present, rather, we just make a synopsis utilizing a model of point development in the substance shaped from lexical chains.

  • Personal Respirator Southampton (Perso): Improved PPE for COVID19
    Personal Respirator Southampton (PeRSo): Improved PPE for COVID19 The problem: Standard PPE is uncomfortable, hard to communicate in, wasteful and FFP3 supply is limited The solution: A reusable respirator with better protection, comfort, communication and reduced cost The proposal: That personal respirators are centrally funded and distributed as part of NHS PPE provision BBC news summary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqJPAh0Ax3A&feature=youtu.be Background: • Respiratory protection is critical to preventing transmission of coronavirus • Standard face masks allow 40% inhaled air to bypass the filter, while FFP3 masks are claustrophobic to wear, have an 18% failure rate and lead to skin problems. Neither protect the eyes • Use of disposable face masks is unsustainable, with 129 billion being used globally each month • New mutants spread more effectively, probably through aerosol, and may evade vaccines The innovation: • We developed a respirator that has multiple benefits over current PPE • It has a clear visor and hood, and delivers clean filtered air from a battery powered pack mounted on a belt for 12 hours between charges • Protection (99.95% particles filtered) is much greater that standard PPE • The respirator is reusable, merely needing recharging between shifts • The PeRSo has passed BSI and HSE regulations with CE marking • Widespread deployment at a large NHS hospital has been highly successful Validation and feedback: • Significant benefits vs standard PPE include greater comfort (p 0.011), better patient response (p 0.044),
