Abstract

Automatic text summarization has recently become a key instrument for reducing the huge quantity of textual data. In this paper, the authors propose a quantum-inspired genetic algorithm (QGA) for extractive single-document summarization. The QGA is used inside a totally automated system as an optimizer to search for the best combination of sentences to be put in the final summary. The presented approach is compared with 11 reference methods including supervised and unsupervised summarization techniques. They have evaluated the performances of the proposed approach on the DUC 2001 and DUC 2002 datasets using the ROUGE-1 and ROUGE-2 evaluation metrics. The obtained results show that the proposal can compete with other state-of-the-art methods. It is ranked first out of 12, outperforming all other algorithms.
