Text Summarization

Imagine being able to summarize a book to get to the crux of it or being able to skim through one-pager summaries of patents or legal contracts. Similarly, it would be useful to be able to pick out the useful information from the heaps of newsletters we’ve subscribed to.

Text summarization is another excellent technique by NLP. It enables us to perform these complex tasks without needing any human experts. While the need for summarization was always there, it wasn’t easy to perform with statistical NLP. Therefore, it had limited accuracy and usage.
