Automatic Text Summarization Based on Lexical Chains
نویسندگان
چکیده
The method of lexical chains is the first time introduced to generate summaries from Chinese texts. The algorithm which computes lexical chains based on the HowNet knowledge database is modified to improve the performance and suit Chinese summarization. Moreover, the construction rules of lexical chains are extended, and relationship among more lexical items is used. The algorithm constructs lexical chains first, and then strong chains are identified and significant sentences are extracted from the text to generate the summary. Evaluation results show that the performance of the system has a notable improvement both in precision and recall compared to the original system.

Using Genetic Algorithms with Lexical Chains for Automatic Text Summarization
Automatic text summarization takes an input text and extracts the most important content in the text. Determining the importance of information depends on several factors. In this paper, we combine two different approaches that have been used in the text summarization domain. The first one is using genetic algorithms to learn the patterns in the documents that lead to the summaries. The other o...
متن کاملText Summarization Using Lexical Chains
Text summarization addresses both the problem of selecting the most important portions of text and the problem of generating coherent summaries. We present in this paper the summarizer of the University of Lethbridge at DUC 2001, which is based on an efficient use of lexical chains.
متن کاملComputing Lexical Chains for Automatic Arabic Text Summarization
Automatic Text Summarization has received a great deal of attention in the past couple of decades. It has gained a lot of interest especially with the proliferation of the Internet and the new technologies. Arabic as a language still lacks research in the field of Information Retrieval. In this paper, we explore lexical cohesion using lexical chains for an extractive summarization system for Ar...
متن کاملLexical Cohesion Based Topic Modeling for Summarization
In this paper, we attack the problem of forming extracts for text summarization. Forming extracts involves selecting the most representative and significant sentences from the text. Our method takes advantage of the lexical cohesion structure in the text in order to evaluate significance of sentences. Lexical chains have been used in summarization research to analyze the lexical cohesion struct...
متن کاملUsing cohesive properties of text for Automatic Summarization
A system allowing extractive automatic summarization of textual documents is presented. The system is based on the cohesive properties of text, namely lexical chains, co-reference chains and named entity chains. In this way the system extend the well known lexicalchaining paradigm for summarization. The system has been applied to summarization tasks on Spanish agency news. Results of its evalua...
