dust-nlp is a small library for the Dust Actor framework that supports idiomatic interactions with large language models (LLMs) and embedding engines.
A test program (NewsPipelineTest) combines this repo with other Dust libraries to create a simple News reader which
- Given a topic (e.g. 'Electric Vehicle Charging') will
- Automatically find and verify good RSS feeds which are likely to have appropriate articles and then
- Sets up a feed reader on each such feed. For retrieved Web pages it
- Isolates the important content in the page and sees if it matches the given topic. If it does it
- Displays a summary of the article.
Running the test on the topic above resulted in:
