Abstract

Text summarization gives condensed information of long texts and documents. Extractive and abstractive are two approaches for summarizing texts. Extractive text summarization is a type of forming summary by finding out the key phrases in a text or article. These important phrases are extracted to form the summary. In this paper, we aim to carry out text summarization of texts in two foreign languages, namely English and German, and two Indian languages: Marathi and Hindi. We have considered an entire sentence in a text as a feature to be extracted to form the summary. We have summarized news articles in the above-mentioned languages. For summarization, supervised or unsupervised algorithms can be used. We aim to find performance of unsupervised algorithms, namely weighted, TextRank, and fuzzy logic for summarizing texts in the above-mentioned languages. The performance evaluation of algorithms is done using ROUGE metric.
