abstract = "Text summarisation is the process of identifying and
extracting the most vital information in a document. It
has been seen as an effective method for dealing with
increasing amount of information on the Internet
nowadays. In this paper, we present an application of
Genetic Programming to the problem of Automatic Text
Summarization. Genetic Programming was used to evolve
the function that ranks the sentences in a document
based on their importance. The summary was extracted by
selecting the sentences that have the highest rankings.
The experiment was conducted on a number of Vietnamese
news documents. The result showed that the summaries
created by Genetic Programming are better than those
created by a number of statistic based methods and even
by human (non-experts).",
