Exploring AutoText Summarization Methods in Turkish: A Literature Review

Abstract

In recent years, the huge volume of textual data has become a challenge, as this challenge is seen in various fields, including scientific articles, legal documents, Internet archives, and even online product reviews. Given the limited data processing capacity of humans, processing large amounts of data is impractical and causes confusion; on the other hand, it requires a lot of effort, which ultimately results in a waste of time. To overcome this problem, the need to implement automated techniques such as automatic text summarization has emerged. Automated text summarization is an automated technique used to create a more condensed version of the original content that provides the same meaning and information. In fact, the generated output should contain important information from the original document.  Various techniques for automatic summarization have been proposed in studies. Many studies have been presented on automatic text summarization methods, however, limited papers have contributed to reviewing different techniques of summarization methods in different languages, so this topic is evolving to reach maturity. This study focuses on different automatic text summarization methods in Turkish by reviewing the literature and previous studies, thus analyzing the performance of automatic text summarization methods.
