Problem Statement
The problem addressed by this project pertains to the need for a versatile and efficient PDF summarization tool. PDF documents often contain lengthy and detailed
content, making it challenging for users to extract essential information quickly. Traditional manual summarization methods may be time-consuming and may not provide
the comprehensiveness desired by users.

Proposed Solution
The proposed solution is to develop a PDF Summarizer using the Flask web framework, capable of performing both abstractive and extractive summarization. This tool
aims to:

● Read and understand the content of PDF files using the PyPDF library.
● Provide abstractive summarization of the PDF content using pre-trained large language models via their API.
● Perform extractive summarization using the Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) summarizer.
● Offer users the option to choose between abstractive and extractive summarization methods.
● Present summarized content in an easily accessible and user-friendly format.

The PDF Summarizer will empower users to quickly obtain concise summaries of PDF documents, enhancing their ability to digest and utilize information effectively.

METHODOLOGY

STEP 1 :

Develop a web application using Flask to create an intuitive user interface for uploading PDF files and selecting summarization methods.

STEP 2 :

Utilize the PyPDF library to extract and convert the content of uploaded PDF files into a suitable format for summarization.
STEP 3 :

Implement abstractive summarization using pre-trained large language models via their API to generate human-like summaries.

STEP 4:

Utilize the LSA summarizer to perform extractive summarization by identifying key sentences within the PDF content.

STEP 5:

Design a user-friendly interface that allows users to upload PDF files, choose summarization methods, and view summarized content.

Describe the features / functions of the concern work here

⮚ PDF Content Analysis: The tool extracts and analyzes content from uploaded PDF files.
⮚ Abstractive Summarization: Abstractive summarization generates human-like summaries using pre-trained language models via their API.
⮚ Extractive Summarization (LSA): Extractive summarization identifies key sentences in the PDF content to create concise summaries.
⮚ User Selection: Users can choose between abstractive and extractive summarization methods.
⮚ User-Friendly Interface: The web application provides an intuitive interface for PDF upload and summarization method selection.
