Extractive multi document summarization using harmony search algorithm

The exponential growth of information on the internet makes it troublesome for users to get valuable information. Text summarization is the process to overcome such a problem. An adequate summary must have wide coverage, high diversity, and high readability. In this article, a new method for multi-document summarization has been supposed based on a harmony search algorithm that optimizes the coverage, diversity, and readability. Concerning the benchmark dataset Text Analysis Conference (TAC-2011), the ROUGE package used to measure the effectiveness of the proposed model. The calculated results support the effectiveness of the proposed approach

INTER AND INTRA CLUSTER ON SELF-ADAPTIVE DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION FOR MULTI-DOCUMENT SUMMARIZATION

Multi – document as one of summarization type has become more challenging issue than single-document because its larger space and its different content of each document. Hence, some of optimization algorithms consider some criteria in producing the best summary, such as relevancy, content coverage, and diversity. Those weighted criteria based on the assumption that the multi-documents are already located in the same cluster. However, in a certain condition, multi-documents consist of many categories and need to be considered too. In this paper, we propose an inter and intra cluster which consist of four weighted criteria functions (coherence, coverage, diversity, and inter-cluster analysis) to be optimized by using SaDE (Self Adaptive Differential Evolution) to get the best summary result. Therefore, the proposed method will deal not only with the value of compactness quality of the cluster within but also the separation of each cluster. Experimental results on Text Analysis Conference (TAC) 2008 datasets yields better summaries results with average ROUGE-1 on precision, recall, and f - measure 0.77, 0.07, and 0.12 compared to another method that only consider the analysis of intra-cluster

A topic modeling based approach to novel document automatic summarization

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Most of existing text automatic summarization algorithms are targeted for multi-documents of relatively short length, thus difficult to be applied immediately to novel documents of structure freedom and long length. In this paper, aiming at novel documents, we propose a topic modeling based approach to extractive automatic summarization, so as to achieve a good balance among compression ratio, summarization quality and machine readability. First, based on topic modeling, we extract the candidate sentences associated with topic words from a preprocessed novel document. Second, with the goals of compression ratio and topic diversity, we design an importance evaluation function to select the most important sentences from the candidate sentences and thus generate an initial novel summary. Finally, we smooth the initial summary to overcome the semantic confusion caused by ambiguous or synonymous words, so as to improve the summary readability. We evaluate experimentally our proposed approach on a real novel dataset. The experiment results show that compared to those from other candidate algorithms, each automatic summary generated by our approach has not only a higher compression ratio, but also better summarization quality
