TL;DR: This paper gives a short overview of summarization methods and evaluation and the number of interesting summarization topics being proposed in different contexts by end users.
Abstract: Automatic text summarization, the computer-based production of condensed versions of documents, is an important technology for the information society. Without summaries it would be practically impossible for human beings to get access to the ever growing mass of information available online. Although research in text summarization is over 50 years old, some efforts are still needed given the insufficient quality of automatic summaries and the number of interesting summarization topics being proposed in different contexts by end users (“domain-specific summaries”, “opinion-oriented summaries”, “update summaries”, etc.). This paper gives a short overview of summarization methods and evaluation.
