Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Actual problem in nowadays is to efficiently process the large amount of data that pass through our mind everyday. The object of study of this paper is automatic summarization algorithms. The main goal is to implement and make comparison of different summarization techniques on corpora of news articles parsed from the web. This research work contains the description of three summarization techniques based on TextRank algorithm: General TextRank, BM25, LongestCommonSubstring. It is specially noted the languages of used corpora: Russian and Kazakh languages. The results of summarization processes and their comparison are provided. It should be emphasized that used algorithms are well-known, but the way of their evaluation on defined corpora is different from those which usually used in summary evaluation. The method of summary evaluation proposed use the special dictionary of extracted key-words on the topic of corpora. As the title implies the article describes applying statistical information. The semantic and syntactic features of text are not examined.
