TextRank

The TextRank algorithm implemented in Go. This particular implementation is suited for sentence extraction and is based off the paper by Rada Mihalcea and Paul Tarau (2004).

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"os"

	"github.com/joshleeb/textrank"
)

func main() {
	bytes, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(os.Stdin)
	text := string(bytes)

	// Iterating 30 times was chosen based on the convergence curves in Figure 1
	// of "TextRank: Bringing Order into Texts" by Rada Mihalcea and Paul Tarau,
	// 2004 - https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~mihalcea/papers/mihalcea.emnlp04.pdf
	words := textrank.RankWords(text, 30)[:5]
	fmt.Println(words)

	// Iterating 5 times was chosen based on the convergence curves in Figure 1
	// of "TextRank: Bringing Order into Texts" by Rada Mihalcea and Paul Tarau,
	// 2004 - https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~mihalcea/papers/mihalcea.emnlp04.pdf
	sentences := textrank.RankSentences(text, 5)
	for _, sentence := range sentences[:5] {
		fmt.Println("\n" + sentence)
	}
}
