Summarizing Text Using Lexical Chains

The current technology of automatic text summarization imparts an important role in the information retrieval and text classification, and it provides the best solution to the information overload problem. And the text summarization is a process of reducing the size of a text while protecting its information content. When taking into consideration the size and number of documents which are available on the Internet and from the other sources, the requirement for a highly efficient tool on which produces usable summaries is clear. We present a better algorithm using lexical chain computation. The algorithm one which makes lexical chains a computationally feasible for the user. And using these lexical chains the user will generate a summary, which is much more effective compared to the solutions available and also closer to the human generated summary
