textSummarizer

An extraction-based tool that summarizes an English language text using Prolog and WordNet.

Like this:

?- summary(5,'messi.txt',Keywords,Summary).
Keywords = ["messi", "ronaldo", "player", "goal", "being"],
Summary = 'If Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t exist, would Lionel Messi have to invent him?. 
As appealing as that picture might be, however, it is probably a false one — from Messi’s 
perspective, at least. He might show it in a different way, but Messi is just as competitive 
as Ronaldo. Rather than being a better player than Ronaldo, Messi’s main motivations — according 
to the people who are close to him — are being the best possible version of Lionel Messi, 
and winning as many trophies as possible. Do Messi and Ronaldo inspire each other? 
“Maybe subconsciously in some way they’ve driven each other on,” said Rodgers'.
