Open source project to generate a summary of any news article.

NTWoC Project Details

Abstract

Brevis (Latin word for short) News is a news summariser which can generate a summary of any news article (technically it will be able to generate a summary of any article but we'll model it to work specifically with news). This will be an open source competitor to Inshorts, news in 60 words (except for the fact that we'll use AI).

(You can apply if you have ANY ONE of the skills mentioned below)

1. Python
2. NLP
3. Deep Learning
4. Front-end development
5. Back-end Development (knowledge of Flask or Django is a huge plus!)

Things that we'll build

2. Text preprocesser
3. News summariser model (This will require a lot of work)
4. Fetching an article from a URL
5. Trending news list
6. Back-end to support the entire architecture
