【 摘 要 】

Wikipedia is one of the main sources of information on the Web. But the access to this content may be difficult especiallywhen using a basic telephone without browsing capability and only a GSM network. The only means of text-basedcommunication remains through SMS. Due to the limitation of the number of characters, a Wikipedia page cannot alwaysbe sent through SMS. This work raises the issue of text summarization with character limitation. To solve this issue, twoextractive approaches have been combined: LSA and TextRank algorithms. Generated summaries have been evaluated usingROUGE metrics. Since ROUGE metrics do not consider character limitation, a new threshold named Threshold ofAcceptability for Character-Oriented Summaries (TACOS) has been proposed to appreciate ROUGE metrics. The evaluationshowed the relevance of the approach for pages of at most 2000 characters. The system has been tested using the SMSsimulator of RapidSMS without a GSM gateway to simulate the deployment in a real environment. To the best of ourknowledge, this is the first work tackling text summarization issue with character limitation.
