Ahmad Farhan AlShammari . Implementation of Text Summarization using Word Frequency in Python. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 36 ( Oct 2023), 34-39. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023923154
The goal of this research is to develop a text summarization program using word frequency in Python. The purpose of text summarization is to provide a short and useful summary of the text. The word frequency is used to measure the importance of words and sentences in the text. The basic steps of text summarization are explained: preprocessing text, creating list of words, creating bag of words, creating word frequency, creating list of sentences, creating sentence score, sorting sentence score, calculating average score, and making summary. The developed program was tested on an experimental text from Wikipedia. The program successfully performed the basic steps of text summarization and provided the required results.
