A COMBINATORIAL SUMMARIZER

A combinatorial summarizer includes a plurality of summarization engines, a processor in selective communication with each summarization engine, and computer readable instructions executable by the processor and embodied on a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium. Each summarization engine is to select a respective plurality of sentences, and generate a relative rank and an associated weight for each sentence of the respective plurality of sentences. The computer readable instructions include instructions to determine a combined weight for each sentence of each respective plurality of sentences. The combined weight is based upon the respective associated weight and a respective relative human rank for each sentence in a set of sentences, including all sentences of each respective plurality of sentences. The computer readable instructions further include instructions to determine a total weight for each summarization engine based, respectively, upon the combined weights for each sentence of each respective plurality of sentences.
