BERT based summarization using transfer learnig and Centroid Clustering technique

This project investigates the usability of BERT pretrained models with few additional FC layers to get latent representation of sentences. We also explore the use of centroid clustering to summarize a long paragraph of review into 2-3 relevant and important sentences with an effective compression rate of around 80%.
