An Efficient Scheme for Extractive Summarization of Text

Abstract

The abundance of online information may be the best and worst thing that has happened in the past decade. The overwhelming amount of information may be a lot for the consumers to absorb and retain. Various methods have been developed over the years to tackle the issue of over-burdening consumers and the research has led to the topic of text summarization. Text summarization is the method of producing a concise version of text by retaining the most relevant information. Most of the existing studies revolve around unsupervised methods and smaller documents. The method proposed in paper provides a parallel view of supervised and unsupervised methods and gives an insight on both approaches through experimentation and analysis.
