Contextual embedded text summarizer system: A hybrid approach

Abstract Selecting crucial sentences from a document is a pivotal task in automatic text summarization systems. Abstractive summarization involves rephrasing key content through advanced natural language techniques, generating a concise, new text conveying critical information. Conversely, extractive summarization reproduces important material from the original text. In the proposed method, a hybrid ensemble approach combines BERTsum for extractive summarization and Longformer2Roberta for abstractive summarization for generating a contextual semantic rich summary for a huge collection of text. These proposed system‐generated summaries were evaluated against reference summaries using the ROUGE package at three rouge levels (Rouge‐1, Rouge‐2, and Rouge‐L). The Proposed contextual embedded hybrid text summarization model has shown significant performance improvement in multiple levels of Rouge score and word mover distance (WMD) of generated summary with a reference summary. The proposed hybrid model demonstrates superior performance over existing state‐of‐the‐art summarizing models on three distinct datasets CNN dataset, WikiSum, and Gigaword dataset. The proposed hybrid model as a text summarizer involves leveraging its capabilities to process longer sequences of text with domain‐specific contextual summaries. This transformers‐based text summarization model has great potential in developing expert systems in various research domains such as health decision support systems, the education sector, customer support chatbots, financial analysis investment recommendations, and financial assistance.
