Automatic Text Summarization using Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
P. Sushanth · International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology · 2025
Text summarization is the process of automatically generating a shorter version of a given text while retaining its important information. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a type of recurrent neural network that is commonly used in natural language processing tasks such as text summarization. LSTM networks have a memory component that allows them to remember important information from the input text, which enables them to generate a more concise and relevant summary of the original text. LSTM networks can be trained on a large corpus of text data, and they can be fine-tuned for specific applications such as summarization. Overall, LSTM networks are a powerful tool for text summarization, as they can effectively capture the long-term dependencies in natural language data and produce high-quality summaries. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is a type of recurrent neural network (RNN) that is able to effectively capture long-term dependencies in sequential data. LSTMs are composed of memory cells, input gates, forget gates, and output gates, which allow the network to selectively remember and forget information over time. This makes LSTMs well-suited for tasks such as language modeling and time series prediction. Despite their ability to handle complex sequential data, LSTMs are still subject to the vanishing gradient problem, which can limit their performance on longer sequences. However, recent advancements in LSTM architecture have helped to alleviate this issue.
