Summarizing text

This module provides an API for making summary of text.

The solution is based on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank(PageRank Algorithm).

Example

We get a description from Wikipedia about umbrellas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbrella)

The regular resume of this text would be:

Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use. The word "umbrella" typically refers to a device used for protection from rain. Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic.

A resume based on asked question, for example "What is the price of umbrella?" is:

Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic. Umbrellas are available in a range of price and quality points, ranging from inexpensive, modest quality models sold at discount stores to expensive, finely made, designer-labeled models. Another distinction can be made between manually operated umbrellas and spring-loaded automatic umbrellas which spring open at the press of a button.

The API allows the end user to select how many sentences to be displayed. In the exmaple above we selected 3.

##Installation

npm install text-summary

##Usage

var summarize = require ("text-summary");

var text ="Put some text here.";
var numberSentences = 2;
var question = "What is the price of an umbrella?";

var summary = summarize.summary(text, numberSentences);

var summaryWithQuestion = summarize.summaryWithQuestion(question, text, numberSentences);

console.log(summary);
