- ItemMinimum redundancy and maximum relevance for single and multi-document Arabic text summarization(Elsevier, 2014-12) Oufaida, Houda; Nouali, Omar; Blache, PhilippeAutomatic text summarization aims to produce summaries for one or more texts using machine techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical summarization system for Arabic texts. Our system uses a clustering algorithm and an adapted discriminant analysis method: mRMR (minimum redundancy and maximum relevance) to score terms. Through mRMR analysis, terms are ranked according to their discriminant and coverage power. Second, we propose a novel sentence extraction algorithm which selects sentences with top ranked terms and maximum diversity. Our system uses minimal language-dependant processing: sentence splitting, tokenization and root extraction. Experimental results on EASC and TAC 2011 MultiLingual datasets showed that our proposed approach is competitive to the state of the art systems.
