TORRES MORENO, Juan Manuel; QUINTANA TORRES, Ligia  and  TOLEDO HERNANDEZ, Porfirio. Evaluating Text Summaries using Divergences of the Probability Distribution. Comp. y Sist. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.4, pp.1515-1526.  Epub June 11, 2021. ISSN 2007-9737.  https://doi.org/10.13053/cys-24-4-3433.

This paper aims to show that generating and evaluating summaries are two linked but different tasks even when the same Divergence of the Probability Distribution (DPD) is used in both. This result allows the use of DPD functions for evaluating summaries automatically without references and also for generating summaries without falling into inconsistencies.

Keywords : Kullback-Leibler/Jensen-Shannon divergences; probability distribution; natural language processing; automatic text summarization.
