Abstract

Artificial Intelligence’s remarkable advancement and Natural Language Processing enabled innovations that

fulfill various vertical requirements. News summarization has become a popular topic where systems extract

valuable semantic content and generate shorter abstracts from the original content. News readers benefit from a

quick understanding of essential details because an informative summary provides them with important points

without forced reading of the whole article. This article covers essential NLP news summarization methods,

including Abstractive summarization, Extractive summarization, and Hybrid summarization, together with re-

cent datasets, evaluation metrics, applications and future challenges. The main benefit of this work serves both

researchers by providing them with complete information about contemporary summarization developments

to select suitable summarization models during application development.
