A Method for Text Summarization by Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm


Morteza Dastkhosh Nikoo, Ahmad Faraahi, Seyyed Mohsen Hashemi and Seyyed Hossein Erfani

Due to rapid and increasingly growth of electronic texts and documents, we need some techniques for integration, communication and appropriate utilization of these texts. Summarizing the literature is one of the most fundamental tasks for integrating and taking advantages of these gathered texts. Selecting key words and then integrating them as a summary text, is the most common method in text summarization. In this paper we present a new method of automatic text summarization, with bacterial foraging optimization. The main idea of this method, is weighting words, then valuing the sentences, and finally extracting key sentences from the text, as the summarized text. It should be noted that, here we used the weighting term TF-IDF method, to determine weight for each text. Also, the bacterial foraging optimization used to converge the solutions is obtained from each bacteria, and finally the best candidate summarized text is given.

Keywords: Text Summarization, Word, Sentence, Weight of sentence, Bacterial foraging optimization algorithm
