Multi-Document Summarization

Multi-document summarization (MDS) is a natural-language-processing task that condenses a cluster of related documents into a single comprehensive, coherent, and non-redundant summary. Formally described by Erkan and Radev (2004) through the LexRank algorithm, MDS is used in news cluster analysis, systematic literature reviews, and research synthesis to give readers a unified view of information spread across multiple sources.
