This document provides an introduction to automatic keyword extraction and text summarization. It discusses the objective of presenting source texts in shorter summaries while maintaining semantics. Different methods for keyword extraction and text summarization are described, including statistical, linguistic, machine learning and hybrid approaches. Both extractive and abstractive summarization techniques are covered. The document concludes that both methods can produce good results depending on the context, though abstractive summarization allows for more relevant summaries. Future work aims to improve parsing accuracy and work on automatic text summarization using extractive methods.
