# Progress

- implementing "summarising multiple notes simultaneously" feature
- users can now summarize multiple highlighted texts in notes
- understanding co-reference resolution:
  - matching nouns to pronouns in next sentences
  - more info: [https://stanford.edu/~kartiks2/coref.pdf](https://stanford.edu/~kartiks2/coref.pdf))

- understanding word2vec solution to create similarity matrix:
  - semantic relationships between sentences

- discovered Javascript NLP library: Natural
  - docs: [Introduction | Natural](https://naturalnode.github.io/natural/)
  - useful for tokenizing text into sentences and has default PageRank algorithm (useful for custom implementation of TextRank)

# Plans

- implementing "summarising notebooks" feature
- learn more about WASM
- making a table of all extractive summarisations and discover their strengths and weaknesses (still pending)
- if all the above are done: try to implement and test Hobb's Algorithm (non-ML co-reference resolution)

# Problems

- I am still having issues with setting up Transformers.js in a plugin.
