Summarization and visualization

Both text summarization and visualization aim at providing some sort of general view of the text either giving a text summary in the required natural language or giving some visual representation of the text. In both cases the text can be either a single document or a set of documents written in some natural language(s). Here we present some basic methods for text summarization and text visualization and give an example on real-world data describing the research projects in information technology supported by European Commission.
