Review: "Text summarization is the process of distilling the most important information from a source to produce an abridged version for a particular user or task.".Summary: "Until now there has been no state-of-the-art collection of the most important writings in automatic text summarization. This book presents the key developments in the field in an integrated framework and suggests future research areas. The book is organized into six sections. Classical Approaches, Corpus-Based Approaches, Exploiting Discourse Structure, Knowledge-Rich Approaches, Evaluation Methods, and New Summarization Problem Areas."--BOOK JACKET.
