Background:
Text summarization is a challenging problem in Natural Language Processing, which involves condensing the content of textual documents without losing their overall meaning and information content, In the domain of bio-medical research, summaries are critical for efficient data analysis and information retrieval. While several bio-medical text summarizers exist in the literature, they often miss out on an essential text aspect: text semantics.
Results:
This paper proposes a novel extractive summarizer that preserves text semantics by utilizing bio-semantic models. We evaluate our approach using ROUGE on a standard dataset and compare it with three state-of-the-art summarizers. Our results show that our approach outperforms existing summarizers.
Conclusion:
The usage of semantics can improve summarizer performance and lead to better summaries. Our summarizer has the potential to aid in efficient data analysis and information retrieval in the field of biomedical research.
