Automatic Text

Due to the wide spread information and the diversity of its sources, there is a need to produce an accurate text summary with the least time and effort. This summary must  preserve key information content and overall meaning of the original text. Text summarization is one of the most important applications of Natural Language Processing (NLP). The goal of automatic text summarization is to create summaries that are similar to human-created ones. However, in many cases, the readability of created summaries is not satisfactory,   because the summaries do not consider the meaning of the words and do not cover all the semantically relevant aspects of data. In this paper we use syntactic and semantic analysis to propose an automatic system of Arabic texts summarization. This system is capable of understanding the meaning of information and retrieves only the relevant part. The effectiveness and evaluation of the proposed work are demonstrated under EASC corpus using Rouge measure. The generated summaries will be compared against those done by human and precedent researches.

Creating a coherent summary of the text is a challenging task in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). Various Automatic Text Summarization techniques have been developed for abstractive as well as extractive summarization. This study focuses on extractive summarization which is a process containing selected delineative paragraphs or sentences from the original text and combining these into smaller forms than the document(s) to generate a summary. The methods that have been used for extractive summarization are based on a graph-theoretic approach, machine learning, Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), neural networks, cluster, and fuzzy logic. In this paper, a semantic graph-based approach SGATS (Semantic Graph-based approach for Automatic Text Summarization) is proposed to generate an extractive summary. The proposed approach constructs a semantic graph of the original Hindi text document by establishing a semantic relationship between sentences of the document using Hindi Wordnet ontology as a background knowledge source. Once the semantic graph is constructed, fourteen different graph theoretical measures are applied to rank the document sentences depending on their semantic scores. The proposed approach is applied to two data sets of different domains of Tourism and Health. The performance of the proposed approach is compared with the state-of-the-art TextRank algorithm and human-annotated summary. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated using widely accepted ROUGE measures. The outcomes exhibit that our proposed system produces better results than TextRank for health domain corpus and comparable results for tourism corpus. Further, correlation coefficient methods are applied to find a correlation between eight different graphical measures and it is observed that most of the graphical measures are highly correlated.

In this paper, the authors propose a new approach for automatic text summarization by extraction based on Saving Energy Function where the first step constitute to use two techniques of extraction: scoring of phrases, and similarity that aims to eliminate redundant phrases without losing the theme of the text. While the second step aims to optimize the results of the previous layer by the metaheuristic based on Bee Algorithm, the objective function of the optimization is to maximize the sum of similarity between phrases of the candidate summary in order to keep the theme of the text, minimize the sum of scores in order to increase the summarization rate, this optimization also will give a candidate's summary where the order of the phrases changes compared to the original text. The third and final layer aims to choose the best summary from the candidate summaries generated by bee optimization, the authors opted for the technique of voting with a simple majority.

Automatic text summarization focuses on distilling summary information from texts. This research field has been considerably explored over the past decades because of its significant role in many natural language processing tasks; however, two challenging issues block its further development: (1) how to yield a summarization model embedding topic inference rather than extending with a pre-trained one and (2) how to merge the latent topics into diverse granularity levels. In this study, we propose a variational hierarchical model to holistically address both issues, dubbed VHTM. Different from the previous work assisted by a pre-trained single-grained topic model, VHTM is the first attempt to jointly accomplish summarization with topic inference via variational encoder-decoder and merge topics into multi-grained levels through topic embedding and attention. Comprehensive experiments validate the superior performance of VHTM compared with the baselines, accompanying with semantically consistent topics.

As a core task of natural language processing and information retrieval, automatic text summarization is widely applied in many fields. There are two existing methods for text summarization task at present: abstractive and extractive. On this basis we propose a novel hybrid model of extractive-abstractive to combine BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) word embedding with reinforcement learning. Firstly, we convert the human-written abstractive summaries to the ground truth labels. Secondly, we use BERT word embedding as text representation and pre-train two sub-models respectively. Finally, the extraction network and the abstraction network are bridged by reinforcement learning. To verify the performance of the model, we compare it with the current popular automatic text summary model on the CNN/Daily Mail dataset, and use the ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) metrics as the evaluation method. Extensive experimental results show that the accuracy of the model is improved obviously.

Text summarization is a process of producing a concise version of text (summary) from one or more information sources. If the generated summary preserves meaning of the original text, it will help the users to make fast and effective decision. However, how much meaning of the source text can be preserved is becoming harder to evaluate. The most commonly used automatic evaluation metrics like Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) strictly rely on the overlapping n-gram units between reference and candidate summaries, which are not suitable to measure the quality of abstractive summaries. Another major challenge to evaluate text summarization systems is lack of consistent ideal reference summaries. Studies show that human summarizers can produce variable reference summaries of the same source that can significantly affect automatic evaluation metrics scores of summarization systems. Humans are biased to certain situation while producing summary, even the same person perhaps produces substantially different summaries of the same source at different time. This paper proposes a word embedding based automatic text summarization and evaluation framework, which can successfully determine salient top-n sentences of a source text as a reference summary, and evaluate the quality of systems summaries against it. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework is effective and able to outperform several baseline methods with regard to both text summarization systems and automatic evaluation metrics when tested on a publicly available dataset.

By identifying and extracting relevant information from articles, automated text summarizing helps the scientific and medical sectors. Automatic text summarization is a way of compressing text documents so that users may find important information in the original text in less time. We will first review some new works in the field of summarizing that use deep learning approaches, and then we will explain the "COVID-19" summarization research papers. The ease with which a reader can grasp written text is referred to as the readability test. The substance of text determines its readability in natural language processing. We constructed word clouds using the abstract's most commonly used text. By looking at those three measurements, we can determine the mean of "ROUGE-1", "ROUGE-2", and "ROUGE-L". As a consequence, "Distilbart-mnli-12-6" and "GPT2-large" are outperform than other. <br>

In the Automatic Text Summarization domain, a Sentence Compression (SC) technique is applied to the summary sentence to remove unnecessary words or phrases. The purpose of SC is to preserve the important information in the sentence and to remove the unnecessary ones without sacrificing the sentence's grammar. The existing development of Malay Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools is still under study with limited open access. The issue is the lack of a benchmark dataset in the Malay language to evaluate the quality of the summaries and to validate the compressed sentence produced by the summarizer model. Hence, our paper outlines a Syntactic-based Sentence Validation technique for Malay sentences by referring to the Malay Grammar Pattern. In this work, we propose a new derivation set of Syntactic Rules based on the Malay main Word Class to validate a Malay sentence that undergoes the SC procedure. We experimented using the Malay dataset of 100 new articles covering the Natural Disaster and Events domain to find the optimal compression rate and its effect on the summary content. An automatic evaluation using ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) produced a result with an average F-measure of 0.5826 and an average Recall value of 0.5925 with an optimum compression rate of 0.5 Confidence Conf value. Furthermore, a manual summary evaluation by a group of Malay experts on the grammaticality of the compressed summary sentence produced a good result of 4.11 and a readability score of 4.12 out of 5. This depicts the reliability of the proposed technique to validate the Malay sentence with promising summary content and readability results.
