Provenance

The spaCy pipeline version of PyTextRank was originally written very late one evening near the beach in A Coruña, Galica, while the author was teaching an NLP seminar at the university during Big Data Coruña 2019.

What a beautiful city, there within ancient Celtic lands, guarded by the Tower of Hercules. It's more than a bit reminiscent of Santa Cruz, California – or perhaps the other way around.

Many thanks to Professor Amparo Alonso Betanzos, Catedrática de Ciencias de la Computación e Inteligencia Artificial de la UDC, and to the Universidade da Coruña.
