Automatic Summarization (Questionnaire 2)

Automatic summarization is the formation of an abbreviated version of a text, made by a computer program. The main objective of automatic summarization is the following:  first, to take a source of information. After that,  to draw out the contained substance from it and finally, to present the major content to the user in a summarized way. And of course,  in a sensitive way taking into account the users’ needs.

Because of the phenomenon of information overload, we know that the access to  solid and properly-developed summaries is essential. One of the examples we have of the use of summarization technology, is a search engine called Google.

Those technologies have to bear in mind the length, the writing-style and the syntax, in order to make a useful summary of any type of text.
