Graph-based ranking algorithms for sentence extraction, applied to text summarization

Published: 21 July 2004 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative unsupervised method for automatic sentence extraction using graph-based ranking algorithms. We evaluate the method in the context of a text summarization task, and show that the results obtained compare favorably with previously published results on established benchmarks.
