Abstract

Considering the huge volume of opinion texts published on various social networks, it is extremely difficult to peruse and use these texts. The automatic creation of summaries can be a significant help for the users of such texts. The current paper employs manifold learning to mitigate the challenges of the complexity and high dimensionality of opinion texts and the K-Means algorithm for clustering. Furthermore, summarization based on the concepts of the texts can improve the performance of the summarization system. The proposed method is unsupervised extractive, and summarization is performed based on the concepts of the texts using the multi-objective pruning approach. The main parameters utilized to perform multi-objective pruning include relevancy, redundancy, and coverage. The simulation results show that the proposed method outperformed the MOOTweetSumm method while providing an improvement of 11% in terms of the ROGUE-1 measure and an improvement of 9% in terms of the ROGUE-L measure.
