## 📘 Introduction

**Text summarization** is the process of distilling the most important information from a source text. It aims to provide a concise version of the content, retaining key points and main ideas.

## 📈 Importance of Text Summarization

The importance of automatic text summarization lies in several key benefits:
1. **⏱️ Reduced Reading Time:** Summaries significantly cut down the time needed to read and understand large documents.
2. **📂 Easier Document Selection:** Summaries simplify the process of choosing relevant documents during research.
3. **📚 Improved Indexing Effectiveness:** Summaries enhance the efficiency of indexing systems.
4. **⚖️ Reduced Bias:** Automated summarization is less prone to bias compared to human summarizers.
5. **📝 Personalized Information:** Customized summaries are valuable in question-answering systems as they provide tailored information.
6. **🚀 Increased Processing Capacity:** Automated summarization allows handling a larger volume of text documents.

## 🔍 Steps in Text Summarization

1. **Text Cleaning**
- Word Tokenization
- Sentence Tokenization
2. **Word-Frequency Table**
3. **Summarization**
