A Chrome extension to produce summaries of news articles.

How it works:

2. Pre-process the body by removing stop words and stemming words using the Porter-Stemmer algorithm.

3. Produce an array of sentence which will make up nodes in the graph.

4. Produce the graph using TF-IDF values of the sentences and the cosine similarity as the weight between nodes.

5. Run the graph through Google's PageRank algorthim.

6. Choose the highest ranking nodes to produce a summary.
