Abstract
Automatic text summarization (ATS) has emerged as a crucial research domain in the discipline of natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval. The exponential growth of digital content has necessitated the need for efficient techniques that can automatically generate concise and informative summaries from lengthy documents. This article provided a comprehensive recap of automatic text summarization, covering both abstractive and extractive methods. Using extractive techniques, prime phrases or keywords from the original text are identified and chosen, while abstractive methods involve producing summaries by paraphrasing and synthesizing content in a more human-like manner. Discussed the advantages and limitations of each approach, including the challenge of ATS, which arises when summarizing content from external sources. Furthermore, reviews common evaluation metrics used for assessing the quality of summaries and discusses recent advancements in neural network-based approaches for text summarization. This survey aims to provide an overview of automatic text summarization which acts as a useful resource for researchers and practitioners in the fields of information retrieval and NLP.
