Abstract

With the explosion in the quantity of on-line text and multimedia information in recent years, demand for text summarization technology is growing. Increased pressure for technology advances is coming from users of the web, on-line information sources, and new mobile devices, as well as from the need for corporate knowledge management. Commercial companies are increasingly starting to offer text summarization capabilities, often bundled with information retrieval tools. In this paper, I will discuss the significance of some recent developments in summarization technology.
