Abstract:
1. A method for automatic real-time summarization and information extraction from one or more documents in a source language in order to present their content in a summary in a chosen target language and to input the content as categorized entities, the method comprising: a. selecting said source language; b. processing an input document into a textual format document while preserving visual information; c. performing linguistic analysis based on models of a linguistic-register associated with the analyzed document; d. extracting lexical instances corresponding to at least one of a pre-determined domain-specific lexicon and run-time lexical instances built according to pre-determined syntactic rules; e. extracting ontology elements from the lexical instances to obtain a set of ontological instances comprising instances from a pre-determined ontology and refined ontological instances, said refined ontological instances comprising a combination of pre-determined ontological instances; f. creating a document digest (DD) from the set of ontological instances, the DD being presented in a relationary map which retains information on features, context and linguistic origin of the components of the DD; g. using domain-specific statistical models relating to categorization clusters and categories within said categorization clusters to determine the most likely categorization of the document in relation to a spectrum of categories by comparing the updated DD to each category model; wherein the step of using domain-specific models includes: h. creating in said target language a document summary for each of said one or more documents based on said DD and summarization rules.
