Multi-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (MOACO) Approach for Multi-Document Text Summarization

Abstract

The demand for creating automatic text summarization methods has significantly emerged as a result of the web’s explosive growth in textual data and the challenge of finding re-quired information within this massive volume of data. Multi-document text summarizing (MDTS) is an effective method for creating summaries by grouping texts that are relevant to a similar subject. With the aid of optimization methods, this strategy can be optimized. The majority of optimization algorithms used in the scientific literature are single-objective ones, but more recently, multi-objective optimization (MOO) techniques have been created, and their findings have outperformed those of single-objective methods. Metaheuristics-based techniques are also increasingly being used effectively in the study of MOO. The MDTS issue is therefore solved by the Multi-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (MOACO) method. This multi-objective metaheuristic algorithm is based on the Pareto optimization. Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) metrics have been used to assess the outcomes of experiments using Document Understanding Conferences (DUC) datasets. Additionally, they have consistently outperformed other referenced summarizer systems.
