News Flash
Weekly roundup of summarized news on your topic of choice
News Flash is a weekly newsletter of curated articles & updates on the topic that matters most to you. We analyze thousands of articles every week, extract the most relevant ones, & summarize them so you can save time and focus on what’s most important.
News Flash is the first information product to come out of our research lab! After researching practical uses of Natural Language Processing (NLP), we decided it would be cool to create a service that could auto-generate weekly newsletters on just about any topic someone could be interested in.
From there, we quickly added features to automatically:
- Analyze the quality of each article (length, grammar, spelling, etc.)
- Score and rank them so that only the top ones make it into the newsletter
- Cluster similar stories together and select the top-scoring one to minimize repetition
- Extract the most important sentences from each article and display them as highlights so you can get a sense of what each story is about before deciding if you want to read it
The central idea behind News Flash is that no matter what your areas of interest are, there are always new developments happening (and a constant stream of news articles covering them) to keep up with. We developed News Flash to help you sift through all the noise and stay informed about the important developments in the areas of interest you care about most.
We hope you like it and find it informative!
