Description : extractive summarization of text with the LexRank algorithm
An R implementation of the LexRank algorithm implementing stochastic
graph-based method for computing relative importance of textual units
for Natural Language Processing. We test the technique on the problem
of Text Summarization (TS). Extractive TS relies on the concept of
sentence salience to identify the most important sentences in a
document or set of documents. Salience is typically defined in terms of
the presence of particular important words or in terms of similarity to
a centroid pseudo-sentence.
Remark: This package will be maintained by the Debian Med team since it
might be useful for the epidemiology task. The maintenance will be done at
