Automatic Indexing and Abstracting of Document Texts  summarizes the latest techniques of automatic indexing and  abstracting, and the results of their application. It also places the  techniques in the context of the study of text, manual indexing and  abstracting, and the use of the indexing descriptions and abstracts in  systems that select documents or information from large collections.  Important sections of the book consider the development of new  techniques for indexing and abstracting. The techniques involve the  following: using text grammars, learning of the themes of the texts  including the identification of representative sentences or paragraphs  by means of adequate cluster algorithms, and learning of  classification patterns of texts. In addition, the book is an attempt  to illuminate new avenues for future research.   Automatic Indexing and Abstracting of Document Texts is an  excellent reference for researchers and professionals working in the  field of content management and information retrieval.
