Due to the exponential growth of documents on internet, users want all the relevant data at one place without any hassle. This led to the growth of Automatic Text Summarization. For extractive text summarization in which representative sentences from the document itself are selected as summary, various statistical, knowledge based and discourse based methods are proposed by researchers. The goal of this paper is to give a survey on the important techniques and methodologies that are employed using Genetic Algorithms in Automatic Text Summarization. This paper gives a review of the growth and improvement in the techniques of Automatic Text Summarization on implementing Evolutionary Algorithms techniques. We propose a broad set of features that considers additional features in the fitness function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
