Abstractive summarization can generate new shorter text, which may or may not be part of the original document, which is rephrased, that presents the most important information from the document [1][2][3].

Abstract – Text summarization is a process of retrieving

crucial information in a concise and precise manner from original and voluminous texts while maintaining the overall meaning of the text. Data is growing exponentially day by day and so the textual data, which may be structured or unstructured, and the best way to use them is by skimming the results. We can access an immense amount of information, however, most of it is redundant, trivial, and may not deliver intended results. Using text summarization techniques can amplify the readability of text documents, reduce the investment of time in scrutinizing the information, and can increase the amount of information to be inserted in a particular domain.

1.1 Extractive Text Summarization The Extractive approach of summarizing text data involves choosing up the most important sentences and phrases from the documents. All the important phrases are combined to form a summary. So, in this case, every word and sentence in the summary is chosen from the original document without changing the context and meaning of the same [1].

Text summarizers extract the key sentences from the source text and concatenate them to form a concise summary. There are various automation techniques for Extractive Text Summarization which preprocesses origin data to extract the most relevant sentences and phrases out of it to include in the summary. Following are some techniques:

1. INTRODUCTION A summary is a condensed version of the original text, which conveys vital information in short, while preserving its key meaning. Since manual text summarization is a tedious task that can be biased, the automation of text summarization is gaining traction and tends to be a bold reason for academic research.

2.1 Term Frequency - Inverse Document Frequency TF-IDF is a short form of Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, it is a statistical method that estimates whether the word is important or not in the document in a collection of documents or corpus. In general TF-IDF value increases comparatively whenever we find that word in the document but goes down if the word frequency increase in the corpus. TF-IDF is calculated by multiplying two metrics i.e., TF value and IDF value [4][13].

Automatic text summarization is a process of minimizing a band of data computationally, to generate a subset that carries the crucial and significant information from the original text with its essential meaning. Moreover, images and videos can also be summarized. As text summarization finds the most relevant sentences from the document, image summarization finds the most relevant image from the image pool, video summarization extracts the crucial frames from the video content. The most important advantage of using a text summarizer is that it increases readability and reduces the time investment. In general, automatic text summarizers select important sentences from the document and organize them together. The goal is to generate a shorter version with the same overall meaning of the document. Automatic text summarization is prevalent in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP).

TF(x) = (Number of times term x appears in a document) __________________________________________________________ (Total number of terms in the document) IDF(w) = loge (Total number of documents) ________________________________________________ (Number of documents with term x in it) TF-IDF(w) = TF(w) * IDF(w)

2.2 Cluster Based Method Documents are generally written to address different subject themes in a particular order. Therefore, the summary should also address different themes mentioned in the document.

Text summarization can be comprehensively categorized into two categories: extractive summarization and abstractive summarization. Extractive summarization takes important sentences directly from the document without any alteration from the original document and groups them together.
