Information retrieval and processing system for news articles in English

The importance of news media is unquestionable. These news media contain a great amount of information hidden along the lines of the articles. For analytics, extracting information and organizing the information to draw out conclusion is very important. The objective of our work is to focus on designing a tool to extract details from English news articles and present it to the user, in an organized manner. A predefined set of websites are crawled and the details are stored. The details extracted by the tool are named entities such as location, person, and organization mentioned in the news, news summary and important keywords pertaining to each news article. We also equip the tool with an efficient search engine, along with database indexing for faster information retrieval.
