Abstract. In recent years, research in text summarization has become very active for many languages. Unfortunately, looking at the effort devoted to Arabic text summarization, we find much fewer attention paid to it. This paper presents a Machine Learning-based approach to Arabic text summarization which uses AdaBoost. This technique is employed to predict whether a new sentence is likely to be included in the summary or not. In order to evaluate the approach, we have used a corpus of Arabic articles. This approach was compared against other Machine Learning approaches and the results obtained show that the approach we suggest using AdaBoost outperforms other existing approaches.
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.
