Human-level automatic summarization is one of the challenges of AI. Automatic text summarization has been studied for over a half century mainly in the natural language processing area. In recent years, we have witnessed increasing adoption of techniques of AI and other computing areas for summarization research and some successful applications in industry such as summarizing Web search results and automatic composition of news. Big data generated in the cyber-physical-social space have raised new requirements and provided new conditions for developing summarization research. Automatic summarization is one of the techniques for processing big data. It is a critical time to think about the fundamental problems, methodology, and research paradigm. This special issue is to call for research initiatives toward the next generation summarization and accelerate the formation of the new research paradigm in the age of big data and a cyber-physical society.
Topics (not limited to):
- Summarization based on understanding, semantics and knowledge
- Summarization of data, texts, images, videos, audios and hybrid media
- Discovering dimensions and semantic links on things to support advanced summarization
- Summarization through interactions in cyber-physical-social space
- Theories, models, principles and methods for summarization of things
- Linguistics, psychology, and cognition aspects of summarization
- Successful applications of various summarization methods
