Description
```
I've tried to use the following code to summarize the text but it doesn't seem to work as expected:
```php
$text = <<summarize($text);
return $summary;
}
echo $summary;
```
The `Text_Summarizer_Kludge` class is a part of the Text_Summarizer library which is a PEAR package for summarizing text.
I'm expecting the `$summary` variable to hold a concise summary of the `$text` variable, but it's returning an empty string. Am I missing something? Is there a different approach I should take to summarize this text?
## Answer (1)
The Text_Summarizer library may not be suitable for all types of text. It works best with longer texts (like articles or books) and sometimes it fails to generate a meaningful summary for shorter texts or when the text is too dense with information (like your property description).
For a short text like your property description, you might want to try a different approach. Here are a few options:
1. **Natural Language Processing (NLP) Services**: Use an API like Google Cloud Natural Language or IBM Watson Tone Analyzer to get insights into the text and then write a summary based on those insights.
2. **Text Summarization Libraries**: Try other summarization libraries like `gensim` with a summarization model like `textrank`.
