This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 8 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world. 

You will work on solving a local problem, initiated by Kolkata, India Chapter.

The problem

The problem that the “Text Summarization” project aims to solve is the overwhelming amount of information available to people in today’s digital age.

By building a “Text Summarization” project, we aim to help people quickly and efficiently digest large amounts of information. The project will leverage natural language processing and machine learning techniques to summarize large amounts of text into concise, easy-to-read summaries. This will save people time and effort, allowing them to quickly identify important information and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in their field.

The impact of this project on our local community will be significant. It will help individuals, organizations, and businesses in our community stay informed and make better decisions. 

Additionally, it will empower people who may struggle with reading long articles or documents due to language barriers or other factors. 

Overall, the “Text Summarization” project will help to increase access to information, save time, and improve decision-making in our local community.

The goals

In this project, the Omdena Kolkata, India Chapter team aims to develop an NLP model that will summarize the large text. With a duration of 8-weeks, this project aims to:
