Inhalt

Text summarization is the process of reducing a text document in order to create a summary that retains the most important information of the original document. As the problem of information overload has grown, and as the quantity of data has increased, so has interest in automatic summarization. Techniques for producing coherent summary/ies take into account variables such as length, writing style and syntax.

The goal of the seminar is to introduce basic methods for text summarization with an overview of current approaches along with some practical exercises. In particular, we will look at single and multi-document summarization approaches, as well as specialized forms, such as update summarization, aspect-based and query-based summarization.
