If you don't have much time and you don't have any clue at all I'd say it's impossible to develop a natural language parsing/processing tool at all.

kind regards,

I'm a full-time NLP sw engineer who's worked with WordNet and many other tools, and 45 days is not enough to come up with any summarized of much value, especially if you're totally unfamiliar with how to do so.

@nrith thanks for replying with at least some hope...i dont need a summarizer with great value..i just need to build a working summarizer..with sufficient enough level..not too high value...it should work, generate a summary, that is my first requirement...can u help me where to start?? plz??

Ugh. This is all I'm going to tell you.

WordNet is a lookup tool. Pass in a word, and you'll get back synonyms and antonyms. The JWNL docs are SourceForge.net: Developer's Cookbook; - jwordnet I suggest you start there.

I'm not entirely sure how WN will help you write a summarizer, or, to put it another way, it may be useful, but not as the primary tool for generating summaries.

thx for this link..i do have an algorithm..which uses wordnet to extract a subgraph of synsets from wordnet..these synsets are ranked usinng a technique..which i forogt..but i do have the document of algorithm..then a 2D matrix is prepared for synsets vs. sentences..which says whatynset is closer to wich sentence..den we use PCA (principle component analysis) to extract most important sentences for the summary...so wordnet is not entriely for summarization..it is just for "domain extraction"..

see this link for the algo Generic Text Summarization using WordNet

That's actually a good plan.
