Automatic Text Summarization : Simplified

Judging a book by its cover is not the way to go.. but I guess a summary should do just fine. In a world where internet is getting exploded with a hulking amount of data every day, being able to automatically summarize is an important challenge. Summaries of long documents, news articles, or even conversations can help us consume content faster and more efficiently. Automatic Text Summarization is a growing field in NLP and has been getting a lot of attention in the last few years. I will not be discussing specific details of any algorithm or implementation.
