Abstract
A text summarizer identifies relevant terms in a document, weights the terms and extracts one or more segments to produce a summary or abstract. The various terms in a particular are weighted in relation to an existing document collection. A term weight computer computes term weights for terms in the document, and a threshold comparator compares the term weights to determine if the corresponding terms are relevant to the document collection. Next, a term weight summer adds the term weights for each occurrence of each relevant term in the various segments of the document, and a summation comparator compares the summations to identify a text summarization segment representative of the document. Optionally, relevant terms can be highlighted in the term summarization segment.
