Abstract

Generating meaningful summary for the given natural language text is one of the challenging and popular task in present era. Researchers have come up with various techniques for the abstractive and extractive summarization. This experimental study is focused on the extractive summarization. In graph-based extractive text summarization techniques, the sentences of the input document are used as the nodes of the graph and various similarity measurements are used to weight the edges of the graph. Each node’s rating is determined using the graph ranking algorithms, and the top-ranked nodes (sentences) are then added to the output extractive summary. In this work, we first translate the publicly available dataset into Hindi text using the Google Translate service. Next, we apply a pre-trained multi-lingual transformer to generate embedding vectors of each sentence of the document. We use these embedding vectors as the nodes of the graph. Rest of the approach remains unchanged. At last, we evaluate the generated extractive summaries on the basis on ROUGE score. Evaluation results indicate that the use of pre-trained multi-lingual transformer can be effective to generate more meaningful extractive summaries.
