Keyword Extraction Based Summarization of Categorized Kannada Text Documents

Abstract

The internet has caused a humongous growth in the number of documents available online. Summaries of documents can help find the right information and are particularly effective when the document base is very large. Keywords are closely associated to a document as they reflect the document's content and act as indices for a given document. In this work, we present a method to produce extractive summaries of documents in the Kannada language, given number of sentences as limitation. The algorithm extracts key words from pre-categorized Kannada documents collected from online resources. We use two feature selection techniques for obtaining features from documents, then we combine scores obtained by GSS (Galavotti, Sebastiani, Simi) coefficients and IDF (Inverse Document Frequency) methods along with TF (Term Frequency) for extracting key words and later use these for summarization based on rank of the sentence. In the current implementation, a document from a given category is selected from our database and depending on the number of sentences given by the user, a summary is generated.

Multi-Classification and Automatic Text Summarization of Kannada News Articles

“…When it comes to Kannada, the research is limited, thus necessitating the need to implement the Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques along with modifications to handle the morphological complexity. TF-IDF approach has been considered by [1] for text summarization. The results have been classified into various classes, based on Galavotti, Sebastiani, Simi (GSS) scores.…”

“…More recently, machine learning approaches have been applied to carry out text categorization and summarization [7]. Similar approaches have also been adopted for Kannada texts [8]. But extractive methods often result in incoherent summaries due to dangling anaphora.…”
