Abstract

See full text

A method and system for constructing a text summarization. At least one domain ontology that includes a set of concepts is selected. A user profile indicative of a user's interests is defined in terms of the ontology concepts. A document's relevance to the user is determined based upon the user profile. If the document is relevant, at least a portion of the ontology is used to extract concepts from the document. The degree of match between the extracted concepts and the user profile concepts is determined and the document text summary is generated if the degree of match exceeds a predetermined threshold. Generating the summary may include selecting sentences based on the concepts in the user profile, ranking the selected sentences by relevance to the user profile, selecting sentences for inclusion in the document text summary based upon the ranking, and merging the selected sentences into the document text summary.
