ABSTRACT:
A technique for automatically generating thematic summaries for machine readable representations of documents. The technique begins with determining the number of thematic terms to be used based upon the number of thematic sentence to be extracted. To insure some commonality of theme between extracted sentences, the number of thematic terms used should be less than the number of thematic sentences to be extracted. Having determined the appropriate number of thematic terms, next the method identifies the thematic terms within the document. Afterward, each sentence of the document is scored based upon the number of thematic terms contained within the sentence. The desired number of highest scoring sentences are selected as thematic sentences.
