“…In 2010, Das and Bandyopadhyay [23] offered a method for opinion summarization in Bangla other than generic text summarization [6,7]. The same procedure as like English text summarization system [9] was followed in the method of Bangla text summarization by Sarkar [6,7] in 2012.…”

“…With the increase of online contents, Edmundson [9] offered a significant development in English text summarization by considering text title, cue-words, and location of sentences. Still, the trend is being continued not only for English but also for Bangla text summarization [6,7,10]. As Bangla is the 7th most spoken language [11], e-contents in Bangla are dramatically increasing throughout the cyber world.…”

This paper proposes an automatic method to summarize Bangla news document. In the proposed approach, pronoun replacement is accomplished for the first time to minimize the dangling pronoun from summary. After replacing pronoun, sentences are ranked using term frequency, sentence frequency, numerical figures and title words. If two sentences have at least 60% cosine similarity, the frequency of the larger sentence is increased, and the smaller sentence is removed to eliminate redundancy. Moreover, the first sentence is included in summary always if it contains any title word. In Bangla text, numerical figures can be presented both in words and digits with a variety of forms. All these forms are identified to assess the importance of sentences. We have used the rule-based system in this approach with hidden Markov model and Markov chain model. To explore the rules, we have analyzed 3,000 Bangla news documents and studied some Bangla grammar books. A series of experiments are performed on 200 Bangla news documents and 600 summaries (3 summaries are for each document). The evaluation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique over the four latest methods.
