Summarization plays an important role in understanding and representing natural languages. With the rapid and continual expansion of texts, pictures and videos in cyberspace, automatic summarization becomes more and more desirable. Text summarization has been studied for more than half century, but it is still hard to automatically generate fluent texts that satisfy readers.
