Text summarization plays a crucial role in extracting key information from lengthy documents, making it easier for users to comprehend and analyze content efficiently. OpenTextSummarizer, a .NET Standard library, offers a versatile and extensible solution for automating the summarization process. In this blog post, we’ll explore the basics of using OpenTextSummarizer and its features.
OpenTextSummarizer simplifies the text summarization process by providing a straightforward API. To get started, users can call the static Summarize
method on the Summarizer
class. The library supports two implementations of the IContentProvider
interface: DirectTextContentProvider
and FileContentProvider
. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
var summarizedDocument = OpenTextSummarizer.Summarizer.Summarize(
new OpenTextSummarizer.FileContentProvider("YourFilePath.txt"),
new SummarizerArguments()
{
Language = "en",
MaxSummarySentences = 5
});
In this example, the FileContentProvider
is used to read content from a file. Adjust the Language
and MaxSummarySentences
parameters in the SummarizerArguments
based on your requirements.
OpenTextSummarizer offers advanced customization options, allowing users to tailor the summarization process to their specific needs. The library employs three main interfaces for different stages of summarization: IContentParser
for parsing, IContentAnalyzer
for analyzing, and IContentSummarizer
for summarizing.
Users can create custom implementations of these interfaces and seamlessly integrate them into the summarization process. Here’s an example of a custom IContentParser
implementation:
public class CustomContentParser : IContentParser
{
// Implement the SplitContentIntoSentences and SplitSentenceIntoTextUnits methods
// based on your specific parsing requirements.
}
// Usage
var summarizedDocument = OpenTextSummarizer.Summarizer.Summarize(
new OpenTextSummarizer.FileContentProvider("YourFilePath.txt"),
new SummarizerArguments()
{
Language = "en",
MaxSummarySentences = 5,
ContentParser = () => new CustomContentParser()
});
The library has been ported to .NET Standard, making it compatible with .NET Core projects. This ensures that developers working with .NET Core can seamlessly leverage the power of OpenTextSummarizer in their applications.
OpenTextSummarizer simplifies text summarization for .NET developers, providing a robust and customizable solution. Whether you need a quick summary using default settings or want to fine-tune the process, OpenTextSummarizer offers the flexibility to meet your requirements. Explore the library, experiment with customization options, and enhance your text summarization workflow today.
