Abstract

By studying the technology of automatic summarization, this paper considers event as a basic semantic unit for narrative texts, and presents a new Event-based method for automatic summarization. This method utilizes events and the relationship between events to build Event-Network text representation model, which can retain the structure information and semantic information of the text to a greater extent. The experimental results show that the Event-based automatic summarization method has better performance.
