Towards an Efficient Approach for Automatic Medical Document Summarization

Abstract

Document summarization deals with providing condensed version of the original document. We present an extractive informative single medical document summarization approach. We compare the tokens in the sentence with cue words. A sentence ranking method is used to extract the important sentences. The existing summarizers are used for performance analysis.
