Extractive vs Abstractive Summaries

Picking sentences vs writing new ones.

Two Ways to Summarize

Summarization shrinks long text into a short version that keeps the key points. There are two main strategies, and knowing both helps you pick the right tool. 📝

Extractive Summaries

An extractive summary copies the most important sentences straight out of the source. Nothing is reworded, so the output is always faithful to the original.
