A summarizer for summarizing Icelandic texts. The summarizer runs in cmd line mode or GUI mode. This summarizer is a prototype implementation as part of a masters thesis titled "Summarization of Icelandic Texts" written at Reykjavík University 2014.

The summarizer uses two methods for summarization, namely TextRank by "Mihalcea, R., & Tarau, P. (2004). Textrank: Bringing order into texts. In Proceedings of EMNLP 2004." This part of the code buildes on Open Source Code shared by Nathan Paco at http://github.com/sharethis/textrank/ and https://github.com/samxhuan/textrank. The second method implemented for the summarizer is TFxIDF.
