• Abstract: In the age of information overload, content management for online news articles relies on efficient summarization to enhance accessibility and user engagement. This article addresses the challenge of extractive text summarization by employing advanced machine learning techniques to generate concise and coherent summaries while preserving the original meaning. Using the Cornell Newsroom dataset, comprising 1.3 million article-summary pairs, we developed a pipeline leveraging BERT embeddings to transform textual data into numerical representations. By framing the task as a binary classification problem, we explored various models, including logistic regression, feed-forward neural networks, and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. Our findings demonstrate that LSTM networks, with their ability to capture sequential dependencies, outperform baseline methods like Lede-3 and simpler models in F1 score and ROUGE-1 metrics. This study underscores the potential of automated summarization in improving content management systems for online news platforms, enabling more efficient content organization and enhanced user experiences.

  This paper introduces a novel pipeline for summarising timelines of events reported by multiple news sources. Transformer-based models for abstractive summarisation generate coherent and concise summaries of long documents. While extractive summaries are more faithful to their sources, they may be less readable and contain redundant or unnecessary information.
