News-Summary-NLP-with-GUI - UPDATE

Update - BERT-based Keyword Extraction:

Integrated BERT embeddings for keyword extraction. Utilized the transformers library to load a pre-trained BERT model and tokenizer. Created a function (extract_keywords_bert) to extract keywords based on attention scores from BERT embeddings. Displayed the extracted keywords in the GUI under the "Keywords" section. Enhanced GUI:

Added a new section for displaying extracted keywords. Adjusted the layout to accommodate the new "Keywords" section. Functionality:

When the "Summarize" button is pressed, the code now not only provides a summary and sentiment analysis but also extracts and displays keywords from the news article.

This addition enhances the news summarizer by incorporating keyword extraction using advanced neural network-based embeddings from BERT, providing more detailed insights into the main topics of the news articles.

Refresh Functionality:

Old Version: The initial version lacked a mechanism to refresh the interface after summarization. Updated Version: A "Refresh" button (btn_refresh) has been added, allowing users to clear the interface and enter new URLs without restarting the application. Enhanced Code Structure:

Old Version: The code was structured as a single function without a modular approach. Updated Version: The code has been organized into two main functions (summarize and refresh), improving readability and maintainability. Improved User Interaction:

Old Version: The initial version relied solely on the "Summarize" button, which presented limitations for users who wanted to input multiple articles successively. Updated Version: The introduction of the "Refresh" button enhances user experience by providing a convenient way to clear the interface for new inputs. Code Comments:

Old Version: Lacked comments for code explanation and understanding. Updated Version: Added comments to explain key sections of the code, making it more accessible for developers and contributors. Additional Documentation:

Old Version: The initial description lacked specific details about the code structure and features. Updated Version: The extended README now provides a comprehensive overview, key tools, skills, features, and how to use the application. Button Styling:

Old Version: Basic buttons with default styling. Updated Version: Buttons have been given more descriptive names (btn_summarize and btn_refresh) and are positioned using the side attribute.

These improvements aim to make the code more user-friendly, modular, and maintainable, promoting better interaction with the news summarization application.
