Title: Methods and systems for facilitating summarization of a document

Description:
The current application claims a priority to the U.S. Provisional Patent application Ser. No. 62/949,738 filed on Dec. 18, 2019. 
    
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     Generally, the present disclosure relates to the field of data processing. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to methods and systems for facilitating summarization of a document. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Generally, documentation may be described as keeping a written and retaining a record of events. Documentation may include elements that may be required to be included, such as policies, practice, and rules. Further, documentation may be described as a written record of actions, discussion, incidents, disciplinary action, positive contributions, reward and recognition, investigations, failure to accomplish requirements and goals, and performance evaluations kept by authorities. 
     Accordingly, the summarization of documents is of utmost importance. Summarization may help individuals, and organizations to retrieve all the information in a document in a set timeframe. The information may be particular to a specific time and may pertain to one, or multiple topics or individuals. As such, if the documents are summarized with respect to categories, topics, headings, periods, and so on, the display of all the important information in the document becomes easier to accomplish. Existing systems to summarize the documents employ machine-learning techniques. Further, many current technologies make use of human input to summarize the documents. However, current technologies to summarize the documents do not assign a weightage to individual sentences of the document and ranking sentences of the document, and generating the summary of the document by combining the highest weighted sentences of the document in the correct order. Further, current technologies to summarize the documents do not include generate the summary of the document by combining the highest weighted sentences of individual topics and headings in the document in correct order to include all the headings of the document. Further, current technologies to summarize the documents do not use input from multiple human experts to assign weights to sentences in the document and capture the sentence ranking preferences from human experts. Further, current technologies to summarize the documents do not make use of a hierarchical system of multiple experts to summarize the documents, and supervise improve the machine learning procedure and algorithms to summarize the documents. Further, current technologies to summarize the documents do not compare generated summaries with ground truth metric documents to verify the correctness and completeness of the summaries. Further, current technologies to summarize the documents do not create the summaries in the form of tables and charts depicting the content present in the original documents. 
     Therefore, there is a need for improved methods and systems for facilitating summarization of a document that may overcome one or more of the above-mentioned problems and/or limitations.

As should be understood, any embodiment may incorporate only one or a plurality of the above-disclosed aspects of the disclosure and may further incorporate only one or a plurality of the above-disclosed features. Furthermore, any embodiment discussed and identified as being “preferred” is considered to be part of a best mode contemplated for carrying out the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments also may be discussed for additional illustrative purposes in providing a full and enabling disclosure. Moreover, many embodiments, such as adaptations, variations, modifications, and equivalent arrangements, will be implicitly disclosed by the embodiments described herein and fall within the scope of the present disclosure. 
     Accordingly, while embodiments are described herein in detail in relation to one or more embodiments, it is to be understood that this disclosure is illustrative and exemplary of the present disclosure, and are made merely for the purposes of providing a full and enabling disclosure. The detailed disclosure herein of one or more embodiments is not intended, nor is to be construed, to limit the scope of patent protection afforded in any claim of a patent issuing here from, which scope is to be defined by the claims and the equivalents thereof. It is not intended that the scope of patent protection be defined by reading into any claim limitation found herein and/or issuing here from that does not explicitly appear in the claim itself. 
     Thus, for example, any sequence(s) and/or temporal order of steps of various processes or methods that are described herein are illustrative and not restrictive. Accordingly, it should be understood that, although steps of various processes or methods may be shown and described as being in a sequence or temporal order, the steps of any such processes or methods are not limited to being carried out in any particular sequence or order, absent an indication otherwise. Indeed, the steps in such processes or methods generally may be carried out in various different sequences and orders while still falling within the scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, it is intended that the scope of patent protection is to be defined by the issued claim(s) rather than the description set forth herein. 
     Additionally, it is important to note that each term used herein refers to that which an ordinary artisan would understand such term to mean based on the contextual use of such term herein. To the extent that the meaning of a term used herein—as understood by the ordinary artisan based on the contextual use of such term—differs in any way from any particular dictionary definition of such term, it is intended that the meaning of the term as understood by the ordinary artisan should prevail. 
     Furthermore, it is important to note that, as used herein, “a” and “an” each generally denotes “at least one,” but does not exclude a plurality unless the contextual use dictates otherwise. When used herein to join a list of items, “or” denotes “at least one of the items,” but does not exclude a plurality of items of the list. Finally, when used herein to join a list of items, “and” denotes “all of the items of the list.” 
     The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or similar elements. While many embodiments of the disclosure may be described, modifications, adaptations, and other implementations are possible. For example, substitutions, additions, or modifications may be made to the elements illustrated in the drawings, and the methods described herein may be modified by substituting, reordering, or adding stages to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description does not limit the disclosure. Instead, the proper scope of the disclosure is defined by the claims found herein and/or issuing here from. The present disclosure contains headers. It should be understood that these headers are used as references and are not to be construed as limiting upon the subjected matter disclosed under the header. 
     The present disclosure includes many aspects and features. Moreover, while many aspects and features relate to, and are described in the context of methods and systems for facilitating summarization of a document, embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to use only in this context. 
     In general, the method disclosed herein may be performed by one or more computing devices. For example, in some embodiments, the method may be performed by a server computer in communication with one or more client devices over a communication network such as, for example, the Internet. In some other embodiments, the method may be performed by one or more of at least one server computer, at least one client device, at least one network device, at least one sensor and at least one actuator. Examples of the one or more client devices and/or the server computer may include, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a portable electronic device, a wearable computer, a smart phone, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, a smart electrical appliance, a video game console, a rack server, a super-computer, a mainframe computer, mini-computer, micro-computer, a storage server, an application server (e.g. a mail server, a web server, a real-time communication server, an FTP server, a virtual server, a proxy server, a DNS server etc.), a quantum computer, and so on. Further, one or more client devices and/or the server computer may be configured for executing a software application such as, for example, but not limited to, an operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Unix, Linux, Android, etc.) in order to provide a user interface (e.g. GUI, touch-screen based interface, voice based interface, gesture based interface etc.) for use by the one or more users and/or a network interface for communicating with other devices over a communication network. Accordingly, the server computer may include a processing device configured for performing data processing tasks such as, for example, but not limited to, analyzing, identifying, determining, generating, transforming, calculating, computing, compressing, decompressing, encrypting, decrypting, scrambling, splitting, merging, interpolating, extrapolating, redacting, anonymizing, encoding and decoding. Further, the server computer may include a communication device configured for communicating with one or more external devices. The one or more external devices may include, for example, but are not limited to, a client device, a third party database, public database, a private database and so on. Further, the communication device may be configured for communicating with the one or more external devices over one or more communication channels. Further, the one or more communication channels may include a wireless communication channel and/or a wired communication channel. Accordingly, the communication device may be configured for performing one or more of transmitting and receiving of information in electronic form. Further, the server computer may include a storage device configured for performing data storage and/or data retrieval operations. In general, the storage device may be configured for providing reliable storage of digital information. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the storage device may be based on technologies such as, but not limited to, data compression, data backup, data redundancy, deduplication, error correction, data finger-printing, role based access control, and so on. 
     Further, one or more steps of the method disclosed herein may be initiated, maintained, controlled and/or terminated based on a control input received from one or more devices operated by one or more users such as, for example, but not limited to, an end user, an admin, a service provider, a service consumer, an agent, a broker and a representative thereof. Further, the user as defined herein may refer to a human, an animal or an artificially intelligent being in any state of existence, unless stated otherwise, elsewhere in the present disclosure. Further, in some embodiments, the one or more users may be required to successfully perform authentication in order for the control input to be effective. In general, a user of the one or more users may perform authentication based on the possession of a secret human readable secret data (e.g. username, password, passphrase, PIN, secret question, secret answer etc.) and/or possession of a machine readable secret data (e.g. encryption key, decryption key, bar codes, etc.) and/or possession of a unique device (e.g. a device with a unique physical and/or chemical and/or biological characteristic, a hardware device with a unique serial number, a network device with a unique IP/MAC address, a telephone with a unique phone number, a smartcard with an authentication token stored thereupon, etc.). Accordingly, the one or more steps of the method may include communicating (e.g. transmitting and/or receiving) with one or more sensor devices and/or one or more actuators in order to perform authentication. For example, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the secret human readable data from an input device such as, for example, a keyboard, a keypad, a touch-screen, a microphone, a camera and so on. Likewise, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the one or more embodied characteristics from one or more biometric sensors. 
     Further, one or more steps of the method may be automatically initiated, maintained and/or terminated based on one or more predefined conditions. In an instance, the one or more predefined conditions may be based on one or more contextual variables. In general, the one or more contextual variables may represent a condition relevant to the performance of the one or more steps of the method. The one or more contextual variables may include, for example, but are not limited to, location, time, identity of a user associated with a device (e.g. the server computer, a client device etc.) corresponding to the performance of the one or more steps, physical state and/or physiological state and/or psychological state of the user, physical state (e.g. motion, direction of motion, orientation, speed, velocity, acceleration, trajectory, etc.) of the device corresponding to the performance of the one or more steps and/or semantic content of data associated with the one or more users. Accordingly, the one or more steps may include communicating with one or more sensors and/or one or more actuators associated with the one or more contextual variables. For example, the one or more sensors may include, but are not limited to, a timing device (e.g. a real-time clock), a location sensor (e.g. a GPS receiver, a GLONASS receiver, an indoor location sensor etc.), a biometric sensor (e.g. a fingerprint sensor), and a device state sensor (e.g. a power sensor, a voltage/current sensor, a switch-state sensor, a usage sensor, etc. associated with the device corresponding to performance of the or more steps). 
     Further, the one or more steps of the method may be performed one or more number of times. Additionally, the one or more steps may be performed in any order other than as exemplarily disclosed herein, unless explicitly stated otherwise, elsewhere in the present disclosure. Further, two or more steps of the one or more steps may, in some embodiments, be simultaneously performed, at least in part. Further, in some embodiments, there may be one or more time gaps between performance of any two steps of the one or more steps. 
     Further, in some embodiments, the one or more predefined conditions may be specified by the one or more users. Accordingly, the one or more steps may include receiving, using the communication device, the one or more predefined conditions from one or more and devices operated by the one or more users. Further, the one or more predefined conditions may be stored in the storage device. Alternatively, and/or additionally, in some embodiments, the one or more predefined conditions may be automatically determined, using the processing device, based on historical data corresponding to performance of the one or more steps. For example, the historical data may be collected, using the storage device, from a plurality of instances of performance of the method. Such historical data may include performance actions (e.g. initiating, maintaining, interrupting, terminating, etc.) of the one or more steps and/or the one or more contextual variables associated therewith. Further, machine learning may be performed on the historical data in order to determine the one or more predefined conditions. For instance, machine learning on the historical data may determine a correlation between one or more contextual variables and performance of the one or more steps of the method. Accordingly, the one or more predefined conditions may be generated, using the processing device, based on the correlation. 
     Further, one or more steps of the method may be performed at one or more spatial locations. For instance, the method may be performed by a plurality of devices interconnected through a communication network. Accordingly, in an example, one or more steps of the method may be performed by a server computer. Similarly, one or more steps of the method may be performed by a client computer. Likewise, one or more steps of the method may be performed by an intermediate entity such as, for example, a proxy server. For instance, one or more steps of the method may be performed in a distributed fashion across the plurality of devices in order to meet one or more objectives. For example, one objective may be to provide load balancing between two or more devices. Another objective may be to restrict a location of one or more of an input data, an output data and any intermediate data therebetween corresponding to one or more steps of the method. For example, in a client-server environment, sensitive data corresponding to a user may not be allowed to be transmitted to the server computer. Accordingly, one or more steps of the method operating on the sensitive data and/or a derivative thereof may be performed at the client device. 
     Overview: 
     The present disclosure describes methods and systems for facilitating summarization of a document. Further, the document may include a regulatory document. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for facilitating the automatic summarization of the regulatory documents. Further, the regulatory documents may include, but may not be limited to legal documents including regulations, and laws, medical documents including research papers, and case studies, and documents related to any other field of study or research. The regulatory documents may be retrieved and accessed from external connected databases (or databases). The databases may include legal databases, medical databases, engineering, and architectural databases, and so on. 
     Further, the disclosed system may include a user device that a user may use to access the disclosed system. The user device may be a mobile device such as, but not limited to, a smartphone, or a computer tablet, or a computing device like a personal computer, or a laptop. The user device may include a communication device configured to communicate over a communication network such as, but not limited to, a cellular network, a satellite network, a personal area network, Bluetooth, Internet, and so on. Further, the user device may include sensors. 
     Further, the disclosed system may allow users to register and create user profiles. Accordingly, the user profiles may include information about the name, age, gender, location, and so on about the users. Further, the user profiles may include information about the profession of the users, such as a lawyer, doctor, and so on. 
     Further, the summarization procedure of the regulatory document may involve the analysis of individual sentences of the regulatory document. Each sentence in the regulatory document may be analyzed, and the value of the sentence may be determined. Accordingly, the sentences with more value may be used in the process of summarization. Further, the process of summarization of the regulatory documents may be improved with the help of human expert judgment. Human expert judgment may be obtained from the users, that may be expert and proficient in specific fields and areas of study. Human experts may judge the importance of sentences in a regulatory document by reading, and analyzing the regulatory documents based on topics, special keywords, context, and so on. Further, the human experts may give scores to sentences, and the most weighted sentences may be prioritized for the process of generation of the summary. 
     Further, the sentences in the regulatory documents may be assigned weights based on topics in the regulatory document, genre, and heading of the regulatory document, and other corpus heterogeneity. 
     Further, multiple regulatory documents that may be interlinked through references and citations may be summarized. The linked regulatory documents may be analyzed based on important links, references, and citations between the regulatory documents. Further, the links, references, and citations may be analyzed and reduced to simple sentences and facts. The simple sentences and facts may represent the information in the multiple interlinked regulatory documents. Accordingly, simple sentences and facts may be expressed and written in the form of natural English language sentences. 
     Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating a text summary of a document (e.g. regulator document) based on scoring the value of each sentence for its use in a text summary of the document, as validated by the feedback of expert judges and other ground truth metrics. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for assigning weights to sentences for summarization based on topic, genre, rates of compression, or other corpus heterogeneity. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating summaries of multiple documents (e.g. regulatory documents) based on important links and similarities between the concepts, references, and documents, and compressing these concepts down to the most important facts and expressing those facts in the form of natural English sentences. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating summaries of multiple documents in the form of tables and charts based on citation analysis. 
     Further, using a combination of summarization techniques, the disclosed system may be configured for summarizing documents related to regulation.

Further, the novel text summaries may be assembled from contents of the document(s) being summarized by scoring the value of each sentence for its use in a text summary of the document, as validated by the feedback of expert judges and other ground-truth metrics. A weighted-feature approach to sentence scoring lays the foundation for a number of learned and hand-tuned strategies that can be effectively tuned to accommodate different topics, genres, rates of compression, or other corpus heterogeneity. Further, the disclosed system may follow best practices and instrumentation for the capture of sentence ranking preferences from domain experts. Further, the disclosed system may follow best practices and instrumentation for the evaluation of summary proposals. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for genre-specific sentence segmentation and classification. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for genre-specific word tokenization sensitive to domain names and citation patterns. Further, the disclosed system may be associated with genre-specific weighted-feature scoring algorithms for sentence ranking (and iterative re-ranking) to aid in sentence selection for summary construction. Further, abstractive summarization associated with the disclosed system may include a novel slot-driven document and multi-document summarizer producing textual summaries. Using scrapers, crawlers, and Natural Language Processing techniques, the disclosed system provides text summaries that represent the distillation of the content of regulatory documents into a newly-created passage of text reflecting the most important themes or topics in those documents. Further, the disclosed system may identify key concepts and references in the documents; then we establish the important links and similarities between the concepts, references, and documents. Further, the disclosed system may compress these concepts down to the most important facts and express those facts in the form of natural English sentences. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for identification, classification, and resolution of document citations in the text using a novel blend of learned, manual, and rule-based approaches. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for the extraction, classification, and resolution (or disambiguation) of a number of genre-specific attributes including names of people and organizations, amounts of money, legal actions and outcomes, dates, requirements, etc. Further, the disclosed system may be associated with algorithms and models for the construction of text passages using the information provided in genre-specific slots filled by the items extracted from the text(s) being summarized. 
     Further, the disclosed system may be configured for numeric summarization. Further, the disclosed system may be associated with a slot-driven document and multi-document summarizer producing tabular and chart summaries.

Further, the disclosed system may be configured for the identification, classification, and resolution of document citations in the text using a novel blend of learned, manual, and programmed approaches. 
     Further, filtering recent documents by topic is an important aspect of regulatory change management. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for the surfacing and automatic classification of regulatory documents. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating topic classification (or filters) of documents (e.g. regulatory documents) based on a blend of expert task specification, assessment, human-driven real-time classification, statistical judgment prioritization, and machine learning techniques. Further, the disclosed system may apply filter attributes to both recent additions and historically-published documents found in the disclosed system. These filters are then made available to regulatory compliance workers using a proprietary web UI which also allows them to provide their expert feedback. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for the creation and validation of repeatable, consistent guidelines for human judgment tasks about classification problems, especially “topic” classification, but also other kinds of relevance. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for the rapid creation of training data in support of machine learning for document classification. Further, the disclosed system may include a specialized judgment interface configurable for a wide variety of human judgment tasks relevant to the semantics of regulatory documents in the financial domain. Further, the disclosed system may include a specialized queueing and sampling infrastructure designed to optimize both the performance of the learned models and the efficiency of the human judges. Further, the disclosed system may emphasize client-facing accuracy over learned-model accuracy.

Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating circles and line graph visualization of document co-citation that encodes document attributes such as genre, jurisdiction, and impact using visual cues such as shape, size, and color. 
     Further, the disclosed system may use a connected-graph based technique for automatic topic classification and discovery. Using scrapers, crawlers, and Natural Language Processing techniques, the disclosed system may be configured for identifying clusters of closely related documents and provide a novel interface for their inspection, navigation, and aggregation. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for identification, classification, and resolution of document citations in the text using a novel blend of learned, manual, and rule-based approaches. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for unique citation-based document representation. Further, the disclosed system may use unsupervised clustering techniques based on our unique graph-based document representation. Further, the disclosed system may be associated with a user interface for the ranked presentation of the most similar documents for each document (that has either incoming or outgoing citations). 
     Further, the disclosed system may use a combination of summarization techniques we have developed a proprietary model for summarizing documents related to regulation. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating a text summary of a document (e.g. regulatory document) based on scoring the value of each sentence for its use in a text summary of the document, as validated by the feedback of expert judges and other ground-truth metrics. Further, the disclosed system may be configured for assigning weights to sentences for summarization based on topics, genres, rates of compression, or other corpus heterogeneity.

Further, the disclosed system may be configured for generating summaries of multiple documents in the form of tables and charts based on citation analysis. 
     Variable-length summaries are constructed via an iterative 1-best sentence extraction process leveraging, among other features: depth in the document, depth in the section, topic-relevance, topic-diversity, discourse coherence, “slot” coverage (e.g. “respondent”, “violation”, “penalty” and “enforcement action type” for regulatory enforcement documents), summary “cue score” (i.e. the similarity of the sentence to summaries previously seen), and other proprietary document and sentence understanding-related features. The key distinguishing features of the disclosed system are: (1) the ability to vary the “compression rate” of the summarization engine to accommodate various summarization needs and (2) a suite of re-weighting strategies sensitive to this variability and optimized toward summaries that gracefully balance topic relevance, subtopic diversity and contextual coherence. Both word scoring and sentence selection weights are “learned” from text data using a variety of supervised and unsupervised methods familiar within ML.

Further, the ground truth metric document may be a document that may be used as a reference against which a summary of the regulatory document may be analyzed to check whether the generated summary may be accurate or not. For instance, an agency may record the status of a regulation, and update the change in status and history of the regulation in an agenda document. Accordingly, the agenda document may be considered a ground truth metric document to evaluate the summary generated for the regulation. The connected database from which the ground truth metric document may be retrieved may include databases that may store regulatory documents, such as legal databases, medical databases, engineering databases, and so on. The regulatory documents may include supporting data such as the title, name, source, and so on.

     Further, at  1110 , the method  1100  may include a step of generating a final summary of the regulatory document. A final summary may be generated after analysis of an initial summary of the regulatory document against the ground truth metric document. The summary may be revised based on the evaluation of the initial summary with respect to the ground truth metric document. For instance, if an important point is found to be lacking in a summary, the point may be added to complete the summary. Accordingly, the ground truth metric document may be used as a source for additional content to be added to the summary. 
       FIG. 12  is a flowchart of a method  1200  to facilitate the summarization of a regulatory document, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, at  1202 , the method  1200  may include a step of receiving a regulatory document (or at least one regulatory document) from a connected database (or at least one connected database). The connected database may include databases that may store regulatory documents, such as legal databases, medical databases, engineering databases, and so on. The regulatory document may include supporting data such as the title, name, source, and so on. 
     Further,  1204 , the method  1200  may include a step of performing analysis of the regulatory document received from the connected database. The analysis of the received regulatory document may be performed by the use of text recognition algorithms. Algorithms, such as scrapers may be used to extract the data from the regulatory documents. Further, algorithms such as crawlers may be used to index the received regulatory documents. Further, the text of the documents may be analyzed using natural language processing techniques. For instance, distributional semantics techniques may help in analyzing the regulatory documents based on the words, and the meaning of the words used in the regulatory documents in accordance with the context of the used words in the regulatory document. Accordingly, the key concepts and references in the regulatory document may be analyzed and important links and similarities between the concepts and references may be determined. 
     Further, at  1206 , the method  1200  may include a step of performing sentence segmentation in the regulatory document. After the analysis of the regulatory document, the text of the regulatory document may be divided into meaningful units. The meaningful units may include important words, which may be analyzed and determined to provide meaning to sentences. Further, the meaningful units may include sentences and a collection of sentences that may pertain to individual topics. Accordingly, the meaningful units may also include individual topics and headings in the regulatory document. Sentence segmentation may be performed by analysis of punctuation, such as a full stop. However, in the English language, the full stop character may also be used for abbreviations, which may or may not also terminate a sentence. Accordingly, if punctuation and similar clues may not be available, the task of sentence segmentation may be performed through statistical decision-making, large dictionaries, and through analysis of syntactic and semantic constraints. Further, sentence segmentation through natural language processing may be differently applied to text in specific domains and sources. Accordingly, different types of regulatory documents may have to be analyzed, and sentence segmentation may have to be performed in a different manner. For instance, analysis and processing of text in agenda documents may be different from processing text in other regulatory documents such as enforcements. 
     Further, at  1208 , the method  1200  may include a step of performing sentence ranking and assigning weights to sentences. After sentence segmentation, the sentences in the regulatory document may be analyzed and ranked. The rank of a sentence may be defined by the importance of a sentence to render meaning to a regulatory document. For instance, if the regulatory document is an enforcement issued to an organization for breach of a legal statutes and/or regulations, the sentences containing the details about the action, and violation may be ranked higher than the sentences containing the name of the respondent, and the details about the penalty. Further, the preferences for ranking of sentences may also be received from a human expert. The human experts may select the sentences that may be ranked higher than other sentences. The process of using of input from human experts has been explained in detail in conjunction with  FIG. 13 . Accordingly, the higher ranked sentences may be given higher weight. The sentences may also be ranked and weighted for every individual topic and heading. 
     Further, at  1210 , the method  1200  may include a step of generating a final summary of the regulatory document. The summary may be generated by combining the highest ranked sentences in a correct order. Further, the highest ranked sentences from each topic and headline may be used to generate the final summary of the regulatory document to make the generated summary complete and comprehensive. Accordingly, a text summary that may be a “compression” of the original text of the regulatory document may be achieved. 
       FIG. 13  is a flowchart of a method  1300  to facilitate the summarization of a regulatory document, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, at  1302 , the method  1300  may include a step of receiving a regulatory document (or at least one regulatory document) from a connected database (or at least one connected database). The connected database may include databases that may store regulatory documents, such as legal databases, medical databases, engineering databases, and so on. The regulatory document may include supporting data such as the title, name, source, and so on. 
     Further, at  1304 , the method  1300  may include a step of sending the regulatory document to human experts (or multiple human experts). The human experts may be users, who may be proficient or experts in the particular field or topic that the regulatory documents may pertain to or include. For instance, a student who may be studying economics may be sent a regulatory document that may pertain to lending, and a user who may be a working professional in the banking sector may be sent a regulatory document that may pertain to mortgages. 
     Further, at  1306 , the method  1300  may include a step of receiving input from the human experts. The input may be received from the human experts through user devices. The human experts may perform a detailed manual analysis of the regulatory document. Further, the human experts may rank individual sentences in the regulatory document. Further, the human experts may weigh the sentences of the regulatory document and analyze which sentence or sentences help in identification of the topic or category of the regulatory document, and include most of the meaning of the regulatory document. For instance, in the financial services domain, some agencies may enforce legal statutes and regulations by issuing an enforcement action. An enforcement may be a document that may contain an action detailing the incident detailing the breach of a statute or regulation, the name of a respondent, who may be addressed in the enforcement, a penalty detailing the fine, or any other punishment that may be issued to the respondent, and the violation stating a legal citation, statute or regulation violated by the respondent. Human experts may analyze the enforcement and may select the sentences, phrases, and/or words that may describe the action and violation detailing the legal citation, statute, or regulation. 
     Further, at  1308 , the method  1300  may include a step of analyzing the input received from the human experts. The input received may be analyzed to improve machine-learning algorithms that may make use of the input to analyze the regulatory document, assign weights to sentences, rank, and re-rank sentences in the regulatory document. Further, the input of the multiple human experts may be analyzed to determine whether a majority of human experts rank the sentences in the regulatory document similarly, assign similar ranks, and provide similar weight to the same sentences in the regulatory document. 
     Further, at  1310 , the method  1300  may include a step of sending the regulatory document to a higher level of hierarchy of human experts based on analysis of the input. If a predefined number of the human experts rank the sentences in the regulatory document similar to a particular regulatory document, the judgment may be accepted and used in the improvement of machine learning algorithms to analyze and categorize the regulatory documents. Alternatively, if the human experts do not rank the sentences in the regulatory document similarly, the regulatory document may be transferred to a higher hierarchical level of human experts for judgment. The number of human experts in the higher hierarchical level of judgment may be lower than the lower level. Further, the expertise and proficiency of the human experts in the higher hierarchical level of judgment may be more than the human experts in the lower hierarchical level of judgment. Further, the process of analysis and categorization of regulatory documents may be repeated until a predetermined number of human experts rank the sentences in the regulatory document similarly. 
     Further, at  1312 , the method  1300  may include a step of receiving sentence-ranking preferences from the human experts. Further, the receiving of the sentence-ranking preferences from human expert may aid in the generation of summaries The process of analysis and categorization of regulatory documents may be repeated until a predetermined number of human experts rank the sentences in the regulatory document similarly. Accordingly, when a predetermined number of human experts rank the sentences in a regulatory document similarly, the ranking may be accepted. 
     Further, at  1314 , the method  1300  may include a step of generating a final summary of the regulatory document based on the receiving of the sentence ranking preferences. The summary may be generated by combining the highest ranked sentences in a correct order. Further, the highest ranked sentences from each topic and headline may be used to generate the final summary of the regulatory document to make the generated summary complete and comprehensive. Accordingly, a text summary that may be a “compression” of the original text of the regulatory document may be achieved. Further, the preferences of ranking sentences may be used to improve the process of automatic analysis of a regulatory document and extracting meaningful sentences to generate a comprehensive summary of the regulatory document. 
       FIG. 14  illustrates a system  1400  to facilitate the summarization of a regulatory document in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the system  1400  may include a summarization module  1402  that may summarize the regulatory document. Further, the summarization module  1402  may be configured for receiving a ground truth metric document  1404  from an external database (or connected database). Further, the ground truth metric document  1404  may include a document that may be used as a reference against which a summary of the regulatory document may be analyzed to check whether the summary generated may be accurate or not. For instance, an agency may record the status of a regulation, and update the change in status and history of the regulation in an agenda document. Accordingly, the agenda document may be considered the ground truth metric document  1404  to evaluate the summary generated by the system  1400  for the regulation document. The connected database from which the ground truth metric document  1404  may be retrieved may include databases that may store regulatory documents, such as legal databases, medical databases, engineering databases, and so on. Further, the summarization module  1402  may receive a test summary  1406  that may have been generated by the system  1400 . The test summary  1406  may have been generated by the system  1400  for the regulatory document. Further, the summarization module  1402  may receive a training set of documents  1408 . Further, the training set of documents  1408  may include the regulatory documents that may have been analyzed by human experts. Further, after the analysis, the sentences in the training set of documents  1408  may have been ranked, and weighted by human experts for the process of generation of summaries. Further, sentence-ranking preferences for the regulatory documents in the training set of documents  1408  may be received and the highest ranked sentences from each topic and headline of the training set of documents  1408  may be used to generate a final summary of the regulatory documents to make the generated summary complete and comprehensive. Further, the sentence-ranking preferences for the regulatory documents may be analyzed and utilized to generate the summary of regulatory documents and improve the test summary  1406  generated by the system  1400 . Further, the ground truth metric document  1404  may be analyzed using natural language processing, semantics, and by ranking the sentences of the ground truth metric document  1404  through sentence-ranking preferences. Further, an improved test summary may be evaluated against the ground truth metric document  1404  to verify and authenticate the correctness of the summary generated. 
     Further, a final summary of the regulatory document may be generated after analysis of the summary of the regulatory document against the ground truth metric document  1404 . The final summary may be revised based on the evaluation of the summary with respect to the ground truth metric document  1404 . Further, the ground truth metric document  1404  may be used as a source to add data and complete the summary generated by the system  1400 . For instance, if an important point is found to be lacking in a summary, the point may be added to complete the summary.
