AZOM: A Persian Structured Text Summarizer

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 6716))

Abstract

In this paper we propose a summarization approach, nicknamed AZOM, that combines statistical and conceptual property of text and in regards of document structure, extracts the summary of text. AZOM is also capable of summarizing unstructured documents. Proposed approach is localized for Persian language but easily can apply to other languages. The empirical results show comparatively superior results than common structured text summarizers, also than existing Persian text summarizers.
