In last few decades, Bio-inspired algorithms (BIAs) have gained a significant popularity to handle hard real world and complex optimization problem. The scope and growth of Bio Inspired algorithms explore new application areas and computing opportunities. This paper presents a review with the objective is to bring a better understanding and to motivate the research on BIAs based text summarization. Different techniques have been used for text summarization are genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), differential evolution (DE), harmonic search (HS).
