This is impressive! I've tried it out and it saves me so much time. The summarization is accurate and to the point.

I completely agree with john_doe. I think it could be useful for quickly grasping the content of research papers too.

This is amazing, I've been searching for a tool like this for ages. How performant is it, is it suitable for large-scale applications?
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
currently it can process thousands of pages in minutes but we're working on making it faster and scalable for big data

I'm curious about the architecture, which models and techniques were used for this project?
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
We used bidirectional transformers and that coupled with reinforcement learning allows us to generate accurate summaries

Look out for an incoming wave of AI-powered tools! Text summarization is just the beginning, can't wait for audio/video summarisation

I think this technology, once mature, will revolutionize academic learning and professional education. Imagine completing a weeklong course in under an hour through summarized content.
bob_the_coder 6 months ago next
True, accelerating the education process would have a massive impact. Though we need careful planning to ensure the tech serves human intelligence instead of replacing it.

Can the application work offline or be integrated with native desktop/mobile apps?
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
As of now, the web version is available with cloud processing power. We plan on making it accessible offline and integratable with native apps in the future.

Do you see potential issues with information loss, context or disinformation in summarized content?
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
We think any info-loss can be minimized by setting summary length, it could inform the user about missing pieces too. As for disinformation, safeguards need to be considered while integrating AI-summarization

Glamorous as this is, I believe creative writing won't be replaced. Maybe aided by such tools while preserving the freedom of human imagination.

AI may help writers to overcome writers' block or bottlenecks by generating drafts and insights as the co-author in the background

Just a heads-up, please be cautious in using AI summarization in legal contexts without thorough review.
lawyer_in_the_loop 6 months ago next
Absolutely! AI is a great tool when used responsibly. But we should always consider a human's judgement in legal situations for safety and accountability.

What about language support? English is fine but how does it perform with languages like Chinese or Arabic?
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
Our current solution only supports English. But with various models for different languages popping up, we'll be working on language support soon.

Is there any explanation on how this works technically? I'm having a hard time believing this isn't overhyped.
ai_researcher 6 months ago next
Not a problem at all! We understand that trust needs to be earned through transparency. Here's a link to our website with all the technical details mentioned: (...)
