Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The central challenge in Automatic Text Summarization (ATS) involves efficiently generating machine-generated text summaries through optimization algorithms. An ATS is a critical component for systems dealing with textual information processing. However, the current approach faces a significant hurdle due to the computational intensity of the process, particularly when employing complex optimization techniques like swarm intelligence optimization alongside a costly ATS repair operator. While the current approach yields impressive RecallOriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation (ROUGE) metrics for the generated summary, it struggles with inefficiencies, mainly attributed to the substantial optimization time consumed by the ATS repair operator scheme. In order to address this, a novel solution called Decomposition-based Multi-Objective Differential Evolution (MODE/D) is proposed. It is built upon the foundation of Differential Evolution for Multi-Objective Optimization (DEMO) and the weighted sum method (WS), coupled with an innovative ATS repair operator scheme. Through experimentation on Document Understanding Conferences (DUC) datasets, the novel approach of MODE/D - WS is validated by evaluating the results using ROUGE metrics. The outcomes are twofold: a remarkable reduction in serial execution time and a noteworthy enhancement over existing techniques in the scholarly domain, as evidenced by improved ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, and ROUGE-L scores.
