Senior CS Project Introduction
A lot of thought has been put into what I want to work on for my senior year Computer Science Comprehensive Project. There are a variety of topics that I am interested within the bounds of Computer Science including both software and hardware, but I decided to work on creating an automatic text summarization tool. Initially, when I was planning out what exactly I was going to do in creating this tool, I incorporated everything that I wanted to do. In creating my own model from scratch, I wanted to compare the three top models out there created by Google/Stanford, Facebook, and IBM. I would study these models and see their strengths, weaknesses, and methods of overcoming problems introduced with their models. For example, when many of the models encounter a word that is out of the given vocabulary, the model tends to replace these unknown words with the tag <unk> . While this makes sense, when these tags come up in the summary produced by the model, it can be quite co...
