This looks amazing. Can you elaborate on what TextRank is? Does it use a neural network, or is it an other kind of NLP method?

@oelmekki thanks for your enthusiasm. TextRank is actually a much simpler than neural networks. It creates a simple language graph of documents and calculates the centroid. Each word in a way is recommends other words in a similar way to PageRank recommending web pages. Here is the original paper written about TextRank, it's very readable. http://web.eecs.umich.edu/%7Emih...

@jjangsangy Thanks :) Skimming through it, I see it uses quite similar method than 5-gram neural networks are using to generate word embeddings. The reconstruction/extraction process looks super cool, though. Will have a deeper look, thanks!
