Abstract

Summarization of web pages is a very interesting topicfrom both academic and commercial point of view.Academically, it is challenging to create a summary of adocument (e.g. a web page) that is highly structured andhas multi-media components in it. From the commercialpoint of view, it is advantageous to summarize web pagesto be viewed in small display devices such as PDAs andcell phones. Summarization not only makes web browsingand navigation easier, but it makes browsing faster ascomplete web pages need not be downloaded beforeviewing. In this paper, a novel combination of naturallanguage and non-natural language based summarizationtechniques have been used to automatically generate anintelligent re-authored display of web pages in real time.
