Large Language Models are becoming popular for their ability to perform great at tasks such as text generation, summarization, classification etc. Work requires incubating a project for summarization tasks using language models in open. And later come up with a solution to summarize application documentation such as READMEs for easy understanding and helping project newcomers to understand the synopsis of the projects. In the future, it could be extended to factor in wider spaces such as code or conversation to portray an easy picture for the newcomers.

Expected Results

• Dataset exploration and reporting gaps based on the intended outcome.
• Choosing the right LLM (by doing some experiments/theoretical evidence) and finetuning them for the task.
• Integrate them as a browser extension or web UI for consumption

This project focuses on developing a crowd-sourced dictionary which will support the English language as well as multiple other languages. The dictionary will provide the users with a platform containing concise definitions along with examples on the usage of words, in multiple languages. Community Dictionary includes words/terms from multiple languages, representing multiple categories. Each word is defined along with an example of each word's usage. These words, definitions and examples can be added in any language the user desires. The users have the facilities to search through the dictionary fast and easily. The users are able to comment on how accurate the given definitions are to ensure reliability. If any user who is not happy or disgreeing with a word or a definiton has the ability to report it to the community for review.

Expected Results

• Improve FrontEnd for Community Dictionary.
• Develop FrontEnd improvemnts Community Dictionary Platform..
• Provide Testing and Documentation
