Towards a Suitable Rhetorical Representation for Arabic Text Summarization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text summarization based on rhetorical structure theory has shown extremely interesting result. The process of extracting the text summary from the result of the rhetorical parser is not a singleton. Different rhetorical structure trees are generated from one text. Unfortunately, the result of the generated summary is not equivalent for those trees, and the correctness of the result is affected by the selected tree to extract the summary from. The aim of this paper is to provide a method that allows selecting the most suitable rhetorical structure tree for Arabic text summarization based on a study on the Arabic literature and an experiment on Arabic corpus.
