📝 TextRank Text Summarization

An implementation of the TextRank algorithm for automatic text summarization using GloVe word embeddings and cosine similarity.

🎯 Overview

This project implements extractive text summarization using the TextRank algorithm, which is inspired by Google's PageRank. It selects the most important sentences from a text by analyzing the relationships between sentences using word embeddings and graph-based ranking.

✨ Features

• Preprocessing Pipeline

  • Sentence tokenization
  • Punctuation removal
  • Case normalization
  • Stopwords removal

• Advanced Text Analysis

  • GloVe word embeddings integration
  • Sentence vector computation
  • Cosine similarity measurement
  • Graph-based ranking

• Customizable Parameters

  • Summary length control
  • Similarity threshold adjustment
  • Word embedding dimensions

💻 Usage

Basic Implementation

from text_summarizer import TextRankSummarizer

# Initialize summarizer
summarizer = TextRankSummarizer()

# Load and summarize text
text = "Your long text here..."
summary = summarizer.summarize(text, num_sentences=10)
print(summary)

Advanced Options

# Custom configuration
summarizer = TextRankSummarizer(
    embedding_dim=100,
    similarity_threshold=0.3,
    language='english'
)

# Generate summary with metadata
summary, metadata = summarizer.summarize(
    text,
    num_sentences=5,
    return_metadata=True
)

🔧 Implementation Details

Text Preprocessing

def preprocess_text(text):
    # Tokenize into sentences
    sentences = sent_tokenize(text)
    
    # Clean sentences
    clean_sentences = pd.Series(sentences).str.replace("[^a-zA-Z]", " ")
    
    # Convert to lowercase
    clean_sentences = [s.lower() for s in clean_sentences]
    
    # Remove stopwords
    clean_sentences = [remove_stopwords(r.split()) 
                      for r in clean_sentences]
    
    return clean_sentences

Sentence Vector Generation

def create_sentence_vectors(sentences, word_embeddings):
    sentence_vectors = []
    for sentence in sentences:
        if len(sentence) != 0:
            vector = sum([word_embeddings.get(w, np.zeros((100,))) 
                        for w in sentence.split()]) / \
                    (len(sentence.split()) + 0.001)
        else:
            vector = np.zeros((100,))
        sentence_vectors.append(vector)
    return sentence_vectors
