Extractive Text Summarization using Neural Networks
Text Summarization has been an extensively studied problem. Traditional approaches to text summarization rely heavily on feature engineering. In contrast to this, we propose a fully data-driven approach using feedforward neural networks for single document summarization. We train and evaluate the model on standard DUC 2002 dataset which shows results comparable to the state of the art models. The proposed model is scalable and is able to produce the summary of arbitrarily sized documents by breaking the original document into fixed sized parts and then feeding it recursively to the network.
