Karcı summarization: A simple and effective approach for automatic text summarization using Karcı entropy

Highlights：

• A new, simple and effective approach for automatic summarization of text document using Karcı entropy.

• In the proposed summarization approach, irregularities in the documents is eliminated using a software tool that we call KUSH and the software tool has been developed for text summarization with its unique algorithm.

• Karcı entropy was not used before in any of the previous text summarization studies.

• Experimental results show that the proposed summarizer outperforms all state-of-the-art comparators in terms of the 200-word abstracts in metrics ROUGE-1, ROUGE-2, ROUGE-L, ROUGE-W-1–2. In addition to, proposed summarizer outperforms nearest competitive summarizers 6.4% of ROUGE-1 recall on DUC-2002 dataset. These results show that Karcı summarization is a promising technique and it is expected to attract interest of researchers.
