چکیده
by MEGHANA VISWANATH (Under the Direction of Krzysztof J. Kochut) ABSTRACT This thesis presents an ontology-based approach to automatic extractive summarization of text. Most of the extractive summarization systems so far have used statistical importance measures to determine importance of sentences. We use a knowledge-based approach which makes use of ontological knowledge to determine sentence importance. The Wikipedia ontology is the source of this knowledge. A sub-graph of the ontology is extracted after mapping the input document onto the ontology. The sub-graph, called the Thematic Graph, contains ontology concepts which match the terms in the document and edges from the ontology which represent relationships between the concepts. Hence, the thematic graph represents the theme of the input document. The thematic graph thus obtained is then analyzed using various graph-based importance measures to determine the relative importance of nodes. These values are used ultimately to decide which sentences are included in the summary for the document.

We describe an ontology for WWW summarization in Bone Marrow Transplantation that is currently under construction. It is text-based and qualifies as a grounded ontology. In addition, it is user-centered. For stating medical knowledge, we use first-order logic extended with contexts. The ontology is prepared to serve query scenario formulation, text passage retrieval and summarization proper in ...
متن کاملAutomatic Summarization Based On Automaticallyinduced Ontology
In this paper, we proposed an ontology-based method for summarizing documents. Automatic summarization based on ontology is considered better than other methods. However, existing methods require the ontology to be manually constructed and maintained, which is subjective and time-consuming, so the ontology-based method is not used often. In addition, existing summarization methods consider only...
