/**
 * Generates contextually-relevant summaries of plain text documents.
 * <p>
 * The version 1.0 release of AutoSummary will contain the classes and methods necessary
 * to generate contextually-relevant summaries of plain text documents. It will accomplish
 * this through a variety of statistical and rule-based methods of Natural Language
 * Processing. First, the part-of-speech and specific word-sense (meaning) is determined
 * for each word. Next, each sentence is deconstructed and the subject/predicate/object
 * is identified. A map of relationships between word is then created. From this, specific
 * themes are identified and memes (general ideas) are generated. Finally, the memes are
 * used to create summaries of the original document of varying length and detail.
 * <p>
 * Currently, only the part-of-speech tagger has been implemented. A JPhrase object is
 * created which contains semantic information about a given phrase of words, including
 * part-of-speech scores and possible word-sense combinations. The part-of-speech tagging
 * method takes the JPhrase and returns a marked-up string with each word in the phrase
 * associated with a tag corresponding to the part-of-speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb)
 * determined to be most likely used for this particular instance. To make this
 * determination, usage statistics from the WordNet semantic concordance texts are used.
 * <p>
 * AutoSummary works on both Windows and UNIX-like operating systems, and requires the
 * WordNet 2.0 command line tool and database files.
 * <p>
 * AutoSummary uses the WordNet lexical reference system via the JWords Java Interface
 * for WordNet as its source of lexigraphical information. In order to run AutoSummary,
 * you must first install WordNet 2.0 and edit the JWords configuration file.
 * <p>
 * Download and install WordNet 2.0 from Princeton University. Install files for Windows
 * and UNIX are available at <a href="http://wordnet.princeton.edu/" target="new">http://wordnet.princeton.edu/</a>
 * <p>
 * AutoSummary contains the JWords Java Interface for WordNet, and you will need to edit
 * the JWords configuration file to provide a path to the WordNet command line interface.
 * Example paths are listed in config.txt.
