03/25/2014 Project meeting
- Spring break.
- Added the word cloud under the search results with varying font sizes according to their importance in the webpage.
03/18/2014 Project meeting
- We can now see the summary on the search results page.
- Add the word cloud created by centroid method on the search results page after the summary.
- Each word in the word cloud should be displayed on the search results page in different font sizes according to their importance in the webpage.
03/11/2014 Project meeting
- Added a dropdown list where we can choose the summarizer.
- Checked it through Page Options to see if it is switching between summarizers.
- Try to crawl webpages to see if the summary is showing up on the search results page.
03/04/2014 Project meeting

02/25/2014 Project meeting
- Optimized the code for summarizer based on centroid.
- Installed Yioop on the system.
- Figure out where we can insert the code for generating summary.
02/18/2014 Project meeting
- Optimized the code for summarizer based on centroid method.
- Install Yioop on the system and optimize the code.
02/11/2014 Project meeting
- CS298 Project started.
- Uploaded the CS298 Proposal on the website.
- Optimize the code for summarizer based on on centroid method.
11/26/2013 Project meeting
- Installed HipHop Facebook compiler on an Ubuntu system and ran all summarizers on it and found out that it improves the performance.
- Prepare first draft of the CS297 Project Report.
11/19/2013 Project meeting
- Evaluated performance of all 3 methods and found that centroid based summarizer is best among all 3 summarizers.
- Try to optimize the code and Install HipHop Facebook compiler on an Ubuntu system and run all summarizers on it to see if it improves the performance.
11/12/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of modified version of genetic algorithm in TF-ISF based summarizer.
- Instead of ROUGE, decided to prepare own summary and compare it with summaries obtained by 3 methods for evaluating performances.
10/29/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of summarizer with single objective function.
- Needs modifications in genetic algorithm used for approximations in single objective function.
10/22/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of TF-ISF based summarizer.(Third Method)
- Implement a single objective function to consider both diversity and coverage in summary.
10/15/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of both methods on a wikipedia page.
- Showed the modified word cloud.
- Start Coding a TF-ISF based summarizer.(Third Method)
10/08/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of centroid based summarizer.(Second method)
- Suggestion: Modify a word cloud in second method to have font size of word based on its importance in document.
- Implement the slider for accepting length of summary in first method.
10/01/2013 Project meeting
- Showed execution of a summarizer based on intersection function.(First method)
- Prof. suggested to get the length of summary from user using slider.
