Is he doing extraction or abstraction? I'm doing a research about automatic summarization and also creating an app for it. Summly and my idea has a different approach but I'm curious in some aspects of how summly summarizes articles.

I think last year, Summly was pulled out in the app store. Back in those days, the quality of there summary is not that impressive. I'm still downloading the app and will check its performance.

I found the answer to my question. It is still extraction. Doing abstraction is still a difficult problem to solve.

the app's summaries are intelligible sentences, but since they're extracted from articles without providing any other context besides headlines, they often sound disjointed and non-conclusive. http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/1/3583720/summly-nick-d-aloi...
