SumNews

Minimalistic news displayer and summarizer.

Goal

The goal of this web app is to offer users summarized information from a range of different news sources, allowing users to explore different biases.

Design

We wanted to engage users through design and a smooth UX. By having a minimalistic, Nordic UI we wanted to focus users' attention on the information in front of them. We tried to develop a personal edge with the user, by employing welcoming and neutral color schemes.

Algorithm

For our final algorithm we used the gensim modelling library to summarize the news articles we fetched. After exploring other avenues for text summarization we decided that, given time and solution constraints, it would be best to use a pre-trained module. However, we optimized how we integrated this library in our solution to allow for as brief and fluid summaries as possible - facilitating the users' grasp of the article.
