Method and Apparatus for Determining a Purpose Feature of a Document

摘要

A method of summarizing a document includes a step of extracting one or more sections of the document. The method also includes a step of separating at least one of the one or more extracted sections into one or more subsections based at least in part on a conjunctive structure of the section, wherein each subsection comprises one or more terms. The method also includes steps of determining whether one or more terms within a designated set of terms are present within at least one of the one or more subsections and, responsive to a determination that one or more terms within the designated set of terms are present within at least one of the one or more subsections, removing the one or more terms from the one or more subsections. The method also includes a step of aggregating at least a portion of the one or more sections into a summary of the document.
