Automatic Summarization

Automatically create a summary extracting the most significant sentences in a text.

Summaries may be produced from a single document or multiple documents.

A very good survey on this theme is the work done at the Carnegie Mellon University.

The following techniques (both focused on technical documents) are currently implemented:
