iTSum: one agent-based system for automated text summarizing
With the explosive increase of information especially the news within the cyber world, it is necessary to find a way to illuminate the workload for a person to manually access the meta-data day by day. Based on a modified KPC algorithm, one improved engine is designed and the prototype system iTSum was developed by the project group within Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, which allows the users to specify the website URLs he wishes to visit and generates the summarized Web page for him automatically. The performance evaluation of iTSum and KPC shows the improvement is outstanding. iTSum is an agent-based, personalized and domain-specific text summarizing and publishing system, tests show it can perform better than KPC itself and most other current methodologies.
