Text Summarization Using Natural Language Processing

Abstract

The availability of information today accessible in digital form has accelerated. Retrieving useful document from such large pool of information gets difficult. So, to summarize these text documents is very crucial. Text summarization is a process of minimizing the original source document to get essential information of that document. It eliminates the redundant, less important content and provides you with the vital information in a shorter version usually half a length of the original text. Creating a manual summary is a very time-consuming task. Automatic summarization helps in getting the gist of information present in a particular document in a very short period. In the comparison of all Indian regional languages, there is very less amount of work done for summarization of Hindi documents. This paper presents an effective way to summarize using a Text Rank algorithm. It focuses on summarizing single Hindi text document at a time based on natural language processing (NLP).
