Talk:Automatic summarization

Section on PageRank
Some sentences in the section on PageRank don't make sense / seem to be leftover from a previous version. E.g. However, to keep the graph small, the authors decide to rank individual unigrams in a first step,, where the authors are not referenced previously / at any point. I am not familiar enough with the subject to change these, but wanted to make a note. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.207.253.101 (talk) 18:32, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Re: tag cruft
I'm curious as to what needs cleaning up on this article? While it is a bit brief, it's better than a lot of Wikipedia articles that don't have the tag. KellyCoinGuy

Re: superfluous link
Why is there a link to Technology? What idiot thought that when I research automatic summarization I'd be wanting to read someone's lore simplistic opinion of mass misrepresentation of what technology is?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.120.28 (talk) 16:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So don't click on it next time. Maghnus (talk) 10:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, it wasn't really a relevant link. But I'm not sure it was worth getting so worked up about it.

Re: Evaluation techniques
The context of this section is unclear. What is evaluation? What is it used for? The Transhumanist 21:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Maximum entropy section needs a citation
Parts of the section are directly from http://www.academia.edu/2814044/Automatic_summarization_of_meeting_data_A_feasibility_study, without citation or quotation. The paragraph as is does not make sense because in one sentence, the subject of the sentence is "we". This needs to be paraphrased to address the issues.72.79.221.249 (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Resources for the Future
we are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people every day. This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many governments and environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our consumption of resources before they run out. water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends on the availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and plays a major role in energy production. Although 1 70 percent of the world is covered in water, only 2.5 percent of that is freshwater, and less than one percent of that freshwater is readily available to us. Yet we often overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it further througn pollution or inefficient use. Some 92 percent of all freshwater used annually is dedicated to growing plants 15 and raising animals for food. This means that if water runs out, our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing countries, is already struggling to provide for its population. While 20 most people in developed countries can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to safe water, according to a 2012 United Nations' World Water Development Report. A Rain forests are another endangered resource. They once covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk to only six percent. Every second, an 2 area of rain forest the size of a football field is destroyed-at this rate, rain forests will disappear completely in less than 40 years. All rain forests are important, but it would be a disaster if the Amazon rain forest was gone. Often called the "Lungs of the Planet," the Amazon stretches across a large portion of South America. It is so big that it produces 20 percent of the Earth's oxygen, and is home to more ∞ than half of the world's estimated ten million species of plants and animals. Governments around the world have laws to help protect and conserve these precious resources. But, no matter how many rules there are, it is ultimately individuals who must help the planet to sustain itself. Changing our lifestyle and limiting our use of natural resources is the only way to ensure a better future for 3 our children, and our children's children. 83.123.169.40 (talk) 11:29, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
