Summary

Methods

Different extractive methods make use of different text features to represent the text content These features may include: thematic features based on term frequency statistics, location features such as position in the text, position in the paragraph or the particular section, background features such as terms from title and headings in the text, cue words and phrases such as intext summary cues “in summary”, “our investigation”, bonus and stigma terms such as “significant”, “impossible”, and so on. Such features can be analyzed individually or combined selectively to form a function that is used to identify important words and significant sentences in the text. Sentences that are concentrates of high score words (significant words) are often the target sentences to be extracted
