Synopsis

Text summarization has been studied for over a half century, but traditional methods process texts empirically and neglect the fundamental characteristics and principles of language use and understanding. Automatic summarization is a desirable technique for processing big data. This reference summarizes previous text summarization approaches in a multi-dimensional category space, introduces a multi-dimensional methodology for research and development, unveils the basic characteristics and principles of language use and understanding, investigates some fundamental mechanisms of summarization, studies dimensions on representations, and proposes a multi-dimensional evaluation mechanism. Investigation extends to incorporating pictures into summary and to the summarization of videos, graphs and pictures, and converges to a general summarization method. Further, some basic behaviors of summarization are studied in the complex cyber-physical-social space. Finally, a creative summarization mechanism is proposed as an effort toward the creative summarization of things, which is an open process of interactions among physical objects, data, people, and systems in cyber-physical-social space through a multi-dimensional lens of semantic computing. The author’s insights can inspire research and development of many computing areas.

• The first book that proposes the method for the summarization of things in cyber-physical society through a multi-dimensional lens of semantic computing.
• A transformation from the traditional application-driven research paradigm into a data-driven research paradigm for creative summarization through information modeling, cognitive modeling and knowledge modeling.
• A multi-dimensional methodology for studying, managing, creating and applying methods.

From the Back Cover

Summarization is one of the key features of human intelligence. It plays an important role in understanding and representation. With rapid and continual expansion of texts, pictures and videos in cyberspace, automatic summarization becomes more and more desirable. Text summarization has been studied for over half century, but traditional methods process texts empirically and neglect fundamental characteristics and principles of language use and understanding.

Multi-Dimensional Summarization in Cyber-Physical Society summarizes previous text summarization approaches in a multi-dimensional classification space, introduces a multi-dimensional methodology for research and development, unveils the basic characteristics and principles of language use and understanding, investigates some fundamental mechanisms of summarization, studies dimensions and diversity in representations, and proposes a multi-dimensional evaluation mechanisms. Investigation extends to incorporating pictures into summary and to the summarization of videos, graphs and pictures, and converges to a general summarization method. Further, some basic behaviors of summarization are studied in the complex space of cyberspace, physical space and social space. Finally, the limitation of summarization is pointed out and the notion of innovative summarization is proposed. The basic viewpoints include: (1) a representation suitable for summarization should have a core, indicated by its intention and extension; (2) summarization is an open process of interactions, involved in various explicit and implicit citations; (3) summary has diverse forms and summarization carries out through multiple dimensions; and, (4) automatic summarization has a limitation, and linking summarization to cyberspace, physical space and social space to establish a human-machine-nature symbiotic environment is a way to approach and even break the limitation.
