Abstract

Automatic Text Summarization is a Natural Language Processing task which has experienced great development in recent years, mostly due to the rapid growth of the Internet. Therefore, we need methods and tools that help users to manage large amounts of information. Text Summarization aims to condense the information contained in one or more documents and present it in a more concise way, can be very useful for this purpose. It is the creation of a shortened version of a text by a computer program. The product of this procedure still contains the most important points of the original text.
