from pysummarization.tokenizabledoc.simple_tokenizer import SimpleTokenizer
from pysummarization.abstractabledoc.top_n_rank_abstractor import TopNRankAbstractor

Prepare an English string argument.

document = "Natural language generation (NLG) is the natural language processing task of generating natural language from a machine representation system such as a knowledge base or a logical form. Psycholinguists prefer the term language production when such formal representations are interpreted as models for mental representations."

And instantiate objects and call the method.

# Object of automatic summarization.
auto_abstractor = AutoAbstractor()
# Set tokenizer.
auto_abstractor.tokenizable_doc = SimpleTokenizer()
# Set delimiter for making a list of sentence.
auto_abstractor.delimiter_list = [".", "\n"]
# Object of abstracting and filtering document.
abstractable_doc = TopNRankAbstractor()
# Summarize document.
result_dict = auto_abstractor.summarize(document, abstractable_doc)

# Output result.
for sentence in result_dict["summarize_result"]:
    print(sentence)

The result_dict is a dict. this format is as follows.

dict{
    "summarize_result": "The list of summarized sentences.",
    "scoring_data":     "The list of scores(Rank of importance)."
}

Usecase: Summarize Japanese string argument.

Import Python modules.

Usecase: English Web-Page Summarization

Run the batch program: demo_summarization_english_web_page.py

python demo_summarization_english_web_page.py {URL}
  • {URL}: web site URL.

Demo

Let’s summarize this page: Natural_language_generation - Wikipedia.

python demo_summarization_english_web_page.py https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_generation

The result is as follows.

Natural language generation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation , search Natural language generation ( NLG ) is the natural language processing task of generating natural language from a machine representation system such as a knowledge base or a logical form .

 Psycholinguists prefer the term language production when such formal representations are interpreted as models for mental representations.

 It could be said an NLG system is like a translator that converts data into a natural language representation.

Usecase: Japanese Web-Page Summarization with Similarity Filter

If the sentences you want to summarize consist of repetition of same or similar sense in different words, the summary results may also be redundant. Then before summarization, you should filter the mutually similar, tautological, pleonastic, or redundant sentences to extract features having an information quantity. The function of SimilarityFilter is to cut-off the sentences having the state of resembling or being alike by calculating the similarity measure.

Methods for calculating the similarity measure

There are some methods for calculating the similarity measure. In this library, Dice coefficient, Jaccard coefficient, and Simpson coefficient between two sentences is calculated as follows.

Import Python modules for calculating the similarity measure and instantiate the object.

from pysummarization.similarityfilter.dice import Dice
similarity_filter = Dice()

or

from pysummarization.similarityfilter.jaccard import Jaccard
similarity_filter = Jaccard()

or

from pysummarization.similarityfilter.simpson import Simpson
similarity_filter = Simpson()

If you want to calculate similarity between two sentences, call calculate method as follow.

# Instantiate
similarity_filter = Jaccard()
# Tokenized sentences
token_list_x = ["Dice", "coefficient", "is", "a", "similarity", "measure", "."]
token_list_y = ["Jaccard", "coefficient", "is", "a", "similarity", "measure", "."]
# 0.75
similarity_num = similarity_filter.calculate(token_list_x, token_list_y)

Tf-Idf and Cosine similarity

If you want to calculate similarity with Tf-Idf cosine similarity, instantiate TfIdfCosine.

from pysummarization.similarityfilter.tfidf_cosine import TfIdfCosine
similarity_filter = TfIdfCosine()

Filtering similar sentences and summarization

The function of these methods is to cut-off mutually similar sentences. In text summarization, basic usage of this function is as follow. After all, SimilarityFilter is delegated as well as GoF’s Strategy Pattern.

Import Python modules for NLP and text summarization.

from pysummarization.nlp_base import NlpBase
from pysummarization.nlpbase.auto_abstractor import AutoAbstractor
from pysummarization.tokenizabledoc.mecab_tokenizer import MeCabTokenizer
from pysummarization.abstractabledoc.top_n_rank_abstractor import TopNRankAbstractor
from pysummarization.similarityfilter.tfidf_cosine import TfIdfCosine

Instantiate object of the NLP.

# The object of the NLP.
nlp_base = NlpBase()
# Set tokenizer. This is japanese tokenizer with MeCab.
nlp_base.tokenizable_doc = MeCabTokenizer()

Instantiate object of SimilarityFilter and set the cut-off threshold.

# The object of `Similarity Filter`.
# The similarity observed by this object is so-called cosine similarity of Tf-Idf vectors.
similarity_filter = TfIdfCosine()

# Set the object of NLP.
similarity_filter.nlp_base = nlp_base

# If the similarity exceeds this value, the sentence will be cut off.
similarity_filter.similarity_limit = 0.25

Prepare sentences you want to summarize.

# Summarized sentences (sited from http://ja.uncyclopedia.info/wiki/%E5%86%97%E8%AA%9E%E6%B3%95).
document = "冗語法(じょうごほう、レデュンダンシー、redundancy、jōgohō)とは、何度も何度も繰り返し重ねて重複して前述されたのと同じ意味の同様である同意義の文章を、必要あるいは説明か理解を要求された以上か、伝え伝達したいと意図された、あるいは表し表現したい意味以上に、繰り返し重ねて重複して繰り返すことによる、不必要であるか、または余分な余計である文章の、必要以上の使用であり、何度も何度も繰り返し重ねて重複して前述されたのと同じ意味の同様の文章を、必要あるいは説明か理解を要求された以上か、伝え伝達したいと意図された、あるいは表し表現したい意味以上に、繰り返し重ねて重複して繰り返すことによる、不必要であるか、または余分な文章の、必要以上の使用である。これが冗語法(じょうごほう、レデュンダンシー、redundancy、jōgohō)である。基本的に、冗語法(じょうごほう、レデュンダンシー、redundancy、jōgohō)が多くの場合において概して一般的に繰り返される通常の場合は、普通、同じ同様の発想や思考や概念や物事を表し表現する別々の異なった文章や単語や言葉が何回も何度も余分に繰り返され、その結果として発言者の考えが何回も何度も言い直され、事実上、実際に同じ同様の発言が何回も何度にもわたり、幾重にも言い換えられ、かつ、同じことが何回も何度も繰り返し重複して過剰に回数を重ね前述されたのと同じ意味の同様の文章が何度も何度も不必要に繰り返される。通常の場合、多くの場合において概して一般的にこのように冗語法(じょうごほう、レデュンダンシー、redundancy、jōgohō)が繰り返される。"

Instantiate object of AutoAbstractor and call the method.

# The object of automatic sumamrization.
auto_abstractor = AutoAbstractor()
# Set tokenizer. This is japanese tokenizer with MeCab.
auto_abstractor.tokenizable_doc = MeCabTokenizer()
# Object of abstracting and filtering document.
abstractable_doc = TopNRankAbstractor()
# Delegate the objects and execute summarization.
result_dict = auto_abstractor.summarize(document, abstractable_doc, similarity_filter)
