Text summarization

Text summarization is the process of converting a long text into its summary. Suppose we have a Wikipedia article and say we don't want to read the whole article – we just need an overview of the article.

Text summarization is widely used for a variety of applications, from summarizing long documents, news articles, blog posts, ranging to many more. In the text summarization task, given a long text, our goal is to convert the given long text into its summary as shown in the figure:

Figure 6.1 – Text summarization

Text summarization is of two types:

Extractive summarization
Abstractive summarization

Now let's explore extractive and abstractive summarization in detail.

Extractive summarization

In extractive summarization, we create a summary from a given text by extracting only the important sentences.

That is, say we are given a long document containing...
