Testing NLP content screening and summarization platform (pre-release)

3o05b.intellibutler.com

I've been running publications and notes through this. My notes are often very unstructured. The categories and relevant words the platform's returning are helping home in on the points.

The synopses have been 70%+ of the way to self-sufficient Cliffs Notes of my meanderings -- certainly tight enough that I'll give them another read.

Nice work - thanks for making it available.

Pre-release Asks: I believe I know what the numbers next to the categories and stems in the sidebar represent -- some tool tips, help docs, or a legend would be of use.

A "copy to clipboard" from Synopsis would make it more straightforward take my Cliffs Notes to a text editor.

It's great that it helps identify the primary points, regardless of your notes structure. We'd like it to be usable as a form of Cliff Notes of the future. RE Pre-release asks, excellent points, thanks! This was intended to serve as a type of manual testing input field to simulate the API results, which would be pure output information, with no stylization. That said, you are spot on! We are going to release a full manual portal with the API, however we aren't entirely sure which features to integrate. For now downloading html is a unpleasant alternative to just copy feature. I'll jump right on that! Thanks again and I'm thrilled to hear it's helping sift through your work more efficiently. Additional functionality coming very soon! Ping me for API access when it's available. ;)

Tested out the tool on an article today on Bitcoin. Really enjoyed the synopsis tool, really cut the article down to the pure essentials and worked well. Nice work with it!

Thanks, that's what I like to hear...

This is beautiful! The synopsis is a wonderful feature, though I did notice some weirdness with the aggregation of sentences into paragraphs. Sometimes important noun-phrases were cut off completely changing the meaning of the resulting sentence.

Still I worked on a project like this for ~8 months before retreating to get more math background info. I am incredibly impressed to see a tool like this arise with such a level of quality. Well done.

Wonderful! Yes, we have safeguards and sometimes things get forced or cutoff and it's not perfect (yet). Sounds like you had a serious project underway. If it makes you feel better, we had several false starts and lots of aimless wandering before we found what worked for us. Always happy to answer questions, on the offchance you want to restart your project. I sincerely appreciate the feedback.

Works really well. I liked the synopsis part - it's a challenge to find a decent performing summarizer

Edit - I pasted in a number of different texts including some markov chained "fake" sentences. Seemed to do a nice job

Thanks, keep running tests! That's exactly why we created it, there is a massive hole in non-semantic summarization and content analysis tools! I really appreciate your feedback, ping me if you have more specific q's, I'd be happy to answer them.

It loves long form writing too... It's designed for article to book length summarization.

beautiful design and great user interface - reminded me of my thesis project on lexical chains.

Thanks, I would like to see your thesis! Enjoy! :DDD

had to look it up :-) unfortunately old link (broken images and in German), but maybe you'll find something interesting: http://lennart-lopin.de/thesis/ - good luck with the site, it looks (and works!) really beautiful.

Awesome, checking it out now. I'm going to convert it to english for analysis and see what happens. :D That said, supporting additional languages is a longer-term goal. Thanks again for your kind words!!!
