Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) is the key challenge in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP). It deals with generalizing a summary from a given text without losing the vital information. This is a contemporary area because of exponential content growth in internet and applied in summarizing the content available in books, newsletters, internal document analysis, patent research, e-learning etc. Various machine learning approaches are used in order to achieve the performance of human-generated summaries. The system fails to perform at few areas like checking grammatical errors and paraphrasing the sentences after the summary creation. This work provides a brief view on methods and approaches used in ATS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
