| Abstract(in English) | This paper presents an algorithm for text summarization using thematic hierarchy of a text. Its main purpose is to generate a one-page summary of a long text of several tens pages, which helps the user to skim an electronic book on a computer display. It is required for the one-page summarization that topics of appropriate grading be extracted, and that the selected topics be expressed as short as possible. The algorithm selects thematic textual units of appropriate size from the thematic hierarchy of a text. Then it extracts sentences from every leading part of these units, and outputs a summary with thematic boundaries that separate groups of sentences by their related topics so that the user can quickly understand outline of the summary. |
